debilitating fear

Sometimes we experience debilitating fear. Fear of the unknown and of the future. During such times we tend to lose all power of reasoning and don’t quite know what to do. Our breathing becomes more rapid, life has no meaning, others don’t appear to be concerned and everything seems to be going wrong. There’s no light visible yet because we’re not even sure if we’re nearing the end of the tunnel. How should we handle such a situation?

child of god

Sooner or later we’ll notice that we’re letting ourselves sink deeper into this funk. Once that realization hits, we know that we can do something about it. Let’s start by breathing deeper, way deeper than normal, flush the body with some more life giving and mood-lifting oxygen! Then let’s remind ourselves that we are children of the creator of this Universe! Gosh that’s almost impossible to fathom, which is why it takes so many reminders before this Truth starts to hit home. We are a child of God. Therefore, ultimately, eventually, all is well. The ‘real things’ of this Universe are allied with us, we truly have nothing to fear, heck we don’t even need to fear fear anymore!
