and how do we overcome our fear through god’s wisdom

1. stop fear before it attacks you

stand on guard at the entrance of our minds.

fear makes us forget god.

we forget that god cares for us. instead we focus more on the negative circumstances and expect bad things to happen

rather we should be positive and fill our heart with god’s grace and kindness in every walks of life

2. shift our focus

whenever fear creeps in, shift your focus.

keep your mind always focused on god, his verses, his teachings.

copy them on your notes, put them where you always see it or read it aloud and keep chanting it

do whatever it takes to keep god at the forefront of your thoughts

3. chose trust

if you are scared in any situation to go ahead with work, start praying for God’s help.

keep praying, affirming that god’s blessing are always with us and good will happen always

affirm and declare that you trust and he will surely help you

fear makes us forget god and his care for us.

faith focuses on his love and power

we can fight fear with faith and trust and shift our focus towards god

when we keep our thoughts fixed on god, he keeps our heart at rest in him

HERE’S TO CONCLUDE WITH A DISCLAIMER

i am no teacher or saint to preach or teach people

but by god’s grace i come upon such references from books and teachings from spiritual books which gives us a lot of wisdom and ways to live our valuable life meaningfully

and teach ourselves and the people whom we associate with – to live with the right code of conduct and to raise our standard of living

making smaller changes in life will not only help us be a better individual but also bring a valuable change in the society, in the current scenario which is very much required

however small it may be but let’s atleast start from OURSELVES

let’s make the world a better place with our small efforts in all aspects of living

so that’s all friends, hope i could bring some insight in you

until next time, keep smiling

much love .. stay happy .. stay blessed … ALWAYS
