How to overcome fear

Types of fear in disguise:
1) Greed- fear that we have not enough
2) Fear of rejection: fear that we are not accepted by others
3) Guilt:-- fear that someone might find out
4) Anger- fear of loosing control
5) Jealousy: - fear that someone else will be better than us.
Causes of fear:
  • Sin
  • Imagination
  • Education
  • Innocence
  • Doubt
Deal with fear:
  • Acknowledge its presence
  • Identify causes
  • Focus on fear will not make it smaller. Instead we should focus on the word of God
 10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41
