Most people can relate to the feeling of fear. Fear benefits us when it sets off alarm bells, cluing us in that something is not right, even when we can’t quite put our finger on what is wrong. Our ability to feel fear is God-designed, wired into us as a gift for protection and awareness. Yet we live in a world tainted by sin, and fears may feel abundant and overwhelming to the point of becoming a serious problem. What we fear can reveal both godly and sinful things about our hearts, mental health, and relationships. Thankfully, we have a God who is present and gracious in the midst of our fears, one who does not leave us to our own devices when we face them.
