Love help: Do It Afraid;

{Felicity}

Do It Afraid;

Our parents dont want us to be scared,thats why they wrap us tight as infants,and don’t let us watch horror flicks at age 2… But even when we do feel fear, we can choose to trust things to go well and risk taking action.
We are not ,nor never will be totally free from fear, at least not in this life.. We were not meant to live in torment, We should make it a point to not let fear stop us from confidently living thus keeping us from having the best possible life. When we have a deep understanding concerning the knowledge of love being all important it delivers us from fear.{Love casts out fear}Also, As we begin to accept and receive Love given and trust in the unknown we have a security,an assurance everything is going to be OK ,then we begin to relax.The more we do it afraid we build our confidence in the universe ,and forms character and more.Anytime trouble comes fear is usually the first thing we feel. The “what if” thoughts pop into our head, and we often begin to see the worst possible outcome. As soon as that happens, we should realize what is going on .
There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! Can you imagine what Freedom that would bring,the stress would melt,the anxiety attacks would dissipate to nothing,a smile will fill your heart as loneliness, stress, anger, and problems are gradually replaced with contentment, ease, compassion, and a freedom that never fades away.-For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love
When we focus on a higher power instead of on our fears with trust that things will go well,expecting the best. The feeling of fear or fearful thoughts are from our enemy,whether it be Satan or whatever you choose to believe.We may feel fear at various times in our lives but we can choose to trust in good karma,fate,God, and ‘Do it Afraid ‘blessings and new opportunities in store for us. To receive blessings and new opportunities we must take steps of faith-believe.That often means doing things we don’t feel like doing or in our own minds don’t even think will work, but our trust and for better must be greater than what we personally want, think or feel.We should expect more than anticipated.(Put on our Positive thinking caps)…..nothing ventured,nothing gained-risks,Start not sky diving but small risks such as confronting someone,expressing our feelings,anything feared

This “do it afraid” theory is something I heard a mentor of mine say and it has served me more than ever imagined.
Anytime trouble comes fear is usually the first thing we feel. Satan injects “what if” thoughts into our head, and we often begin to see the worst possible outcome. As soon as that happens, we should realize what is going on and put on faith.
Another phrase I heard here recently is ‘Do it Anyway. I wrote another post on fear a while back if your interested. a smile will fill your heart as loneliness, stress, anger, and problems are gradually replaced with contentment, ease, compassion, and a freedom that never fades away…….I found this,added to it and edited it.Thank you for your interest :)

Nightowl,If your asking what I think you are,Fear is a part of us,whether we like it or not.Just like any other emotion,negative or positive.They have their purposes.Its what we do with them ,how we handle them that determines whether we will control them or let them control us.If Im not clear,feel free to let me know

Fear is a defense mechanism we have because of biology. A deer in the woods hears the slightest breaking of a twig and starts at the sound. A rabbit keeps quite in the underbrush. A songbird flees at the opening of a door. The forest is silent until a hunter passes. By fearing they survive.

Survival, though, is more than a physical reality, more than reproduction. For life to continue beyond the entropy of the universe, we will have to transform matter itself. One day we will reach beyond our biology at great risk. Then we will overcome our fear.

I just read this beautiful post and I’m so happy to see wonderful thoughts being shared, constructive uplifting thoughts. Here are mine: sometimes I’ve felt a tangible fear,so strong I was almost physically crushed beneath its weight. Other times I think I’ve been afraid of fear itself. Where fear lurked, God protected. Where fear misled, the Holy Spirit guided back to safety. We know how God lets us experience every temptation that besets us, but we could overcome them all. We can feel afraid; like His disciples were afraid in the storm on the Lake. Praying will help us overcome our fear, fear of the unknown…

is there really such a need to mention this satan character? in my opinion it is not necessary to personify the dark within all of us.. it is all energy…

other than a few minor quibbles which of course i am going to have, this is a very uplifting and positive post. good for you :)

Help me with: I’m not sure but I think I had a bit of a phantasmagoric experience last night.
