Fighting Fear

{Affiliate links used.}

It's been a fight since I was little. There are many mornings I wake up scared. Day in and day out I talk myself through my fears. I even fear FEAR! For those of us that struggle deeply with an anxiety disorder or constant fear, daily life can be a terrible battle. And even if you don't struggle, we ALL face fears. It is a part of the human existence. It is why God says over and over again "Fear not" in His Word. Frankly, He knew this world would be a scary place. He knew we would struggle to strangle the fear our of our lives before it strangled us.

My dear friend, Candace, over at His Mercy is New, has a new e-book coming out today on fighting fear. Last week she gave me an advance copy to read through. For a woman who has fought fear for decades this book touched my heart! My soul resonated with it as the ideas she offers up are exactly what I use in my struggle with anxiety. So what is Whom Shall I Fear?

Each day Candace provides a short passage of Scripture and a devotional on those verses. Then there is a prayer in which the passage you just read is used {See example below.}. Basically, the idea is to pray God's Word back to Him. {To read more on this concept, click here.} She then provides a space to write your own prayer. Finally, each day has a space to list your blessings. One of the ways to fight fear is gratitude. I have been doing a gratitude journal for several years now, and I can tell you it does wonders to calm my anxiety {Candace explains why in her book.}

Whom Shall I Fear? is $5.99.  I pray that they will bless you as they have me.
