Overcoming Fear & Anxiety

In this book, you will discover ways to guard your heart and remove ungodly, destructive forms of fear such as

anxiety, worry, stress, phobias and panic. When Jesus says, "Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them

be afraid" (John 14:27), He means that it is possible to live in peace. It's important to know that with the

commands of God are the promises of God.

Fear and anxiety, once firmly established, rob the individual of joy. Not all fear is bad. God created a

fear response within us for our protection – for fight, flight, or freeze. But when fear becomes a part of

our daily lives even when no imminent danger presents itself, we cease to enjoy the abundant living that our

Lord promised.

There is an old Greek proverb that says, “The bow that is always bent will soon break.” What that proverb

seems to be implying is that the person who is always under pressure, who never has an opportunity to

release or let go, will soon break into a million pieces.

If there is ever a proverb that fits our society this is it.

Many people, like that bow, are strung out, full of tension, turmoil, fear, and frustration. If I had to choose

one word to summarize how people feel today, I would choose the word worried. Perhaps you have certain

concerns on your mind. You may be worried about the conflict with Iran, the economy or personal finances.

Parents are worried about their children; children are worried about their parents. Some people worry all the

time. If they are not worrying, they are worried that they have nothing to worry about.
