Wow now this just got real… Fear such a powerful emotion and so many things can bring this emotion to the surface. This year has brought fear to a new level in everyones lives… It was already probably an emotion we felt everyday, well that is if you acknowledged it, I think its easy just to run from it and say its not their at least thats how I do it… But fear is a real emotion and it stops many dreams, desires and people from living their lives.
There are all sorts of things that bring up fear in peoples lives and it’s different for all people. But this virus has really gotten us fearful… Because of this virus lots of us are living in constant fear, it is our go to emotion, afraid to leave the house, touch our face or anything for that matter, hug someone or even shake their hand. Wow that escalated quickly.. I think this virus isn’t the only thing that has become contagious..
I am not saying I know how to totally conquer fear or even if that is even possible, but trying to focus on things you are grateful for is one way that has help me. And there are many verses in the bible about casting our cares on Him, being strong and courageous, love casting out fear, so much help there to encourage us to move forward and start overcoming this paralyzing emotion. So I ask the questions.. Can fear be contagious? Can us being fearful cause another to be fearful?
So it is that time in the post when I say… Are you going to ‘Take it or let it go’ its up to you, you decide and thanks again for stopping by and checking out our blog. Enjoy your day and please come by again… TTFN – Mark
Hello…very contagious, this Fear you speak of. It can come in many forms and manifest in the worst of ways, infecting everything. Fear, if we let it, can even paralyze! Perhaps its the unknown of a situation that leaves us questioning the possibilities, or the known possibilities that leave us questioning the situation. (Hmmm?)
‘Fear Not’ is a huge challenge. Often times easier said than done.
Thru The Lord I need not to Fear as thru Him all things are possible. Faith can really be a cornerstone to conquering the contagiousness of Fear. We always have the ability to call upon God for the strength to see ourselves thru a fearful situation; whether its the next combat mission, or even saying ‘No’.
A mindset of Rigid Flexibility could perhaps stave off Fear. An attitude of nothing is going to stop me! Going in confident to every situation that no matter what changes may come my way, I will figure this out. This is a constant state of mind that says I can and will do this but also knowing and accepting that changes will come and being able to adapt to them and still accomplish said thing.
Another challenge with Fear is identifying and confronting it. By acknowledging the fear itself, an awareness is created that our self immediately begins to conquer.
Peeling ourselves from Fears grasp, its power over us, can be fearful in and of itself. Conquering this contagion requires another Contagious thing…Courage!
