Fear can be defined as a distressing emotion aroused by impending pain or danger. The trigger for this emotion can be real or imaginary, and it may or may not be rational.
Ps 27:1-3 This Psalm is teaching us of the paralyzing effects of fear. V.3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. A siege in ancient Near Eastern warfare involved blocking off any route in or out of a city, often resulting in famine. If we take in negativity and speak negativity the end results many times is to be paralyzed by fear.
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.” ― Corrie Ten Boom
God’s unconditional love stops the paralyzing effects of fear. Jesus was wounded, bruised, opposed, afflicted for us on the cross destroying the power of fear.
