Fear attacks without warning. It can assault you in the early morning before you arise from your bed. It can pierce your heart in broad daylight and then it can confront you in the deepest and darkest of nights.
Fear can be triggered by a statement, a bill, a phone call, a word or simply by a thought. Fear is a slippery, slimy wild pig that is not concerned with any form of etiquette, and will barge into your sphere unannounced and unwelcomed. Then like a parading lion it will seek out the weak or pounce when you find yourself in a weakened, tired or sickened state.
Fear is merciless. Fear is wily. Fear is a schemer. Fear is fatal – but only if you allow it to take up residence in your life.
But when the savage dog of fear speeds towards you, the best remedy to overcome and nullify the attack is to turn front on and stand still. For by standing your ground you have not only faced your fear, but you have in fact ‘Faithed Your Fears’.
The only power that fear will ever have over you is when you choose to turn and run. Fear will pursue you and hunt you down if you flee. But if you ‘Faith Your Fear’ and stand firm – never allowing fears ammunition to be uttered from your lips – but rather to speak words of faith in the face of fear – you will stand strong.
And what are some of those faith words? Well here are just a few that you can use when you find yourself being hemmed in by the wolverine pack called fear.
‘I can’, ‘I will’, ‘I have’ and ‘I’m more than able’.
And as a Muslim I add a few others like…
‘If Allah is with me me then who can be against me’ along with ‘No weapon formed against me shall prosper.’
And with these weapons flowing from your mouth you will faith your fears all the way to victory.
