Fear of God

Fear keeps us away from God. We resist his graces and his invitations to intimacy. We shun establishing a relationship with God and with others. We need to remember that intimacy with God leads to the desire to be of service to others. It gives us courage to confront unjust structures and powers-that-be just as Jesus did.

The seeker: I am scared to go to the missions. There are rumours that the fundamentalists are planning to kill all the missionaries and rape the nuns.

The guide: Fear seems to control your life.

The seeker: I don’t want to be raped and to die...

The guide: Jesus too did‘ not want to die on the cross......

Fear of Speaking and Reading in Public

John said, “I feel very nervous when I read in the church. Even in the class, I am generally very nervous and cannot read aloud properly. Get mixed up lines and see double. My hands tremble and my knees knock against each other. I need help.”

How to Manage Fear?

Should we necessarily succumb to fear of any and every kind? No. In fact, we never want to. In life we feel the urge to succeed by overcoming fear. We fight against nervousness. After struggling against stage fright, we speak confidently in public.

Root Of All Evil Is Fear

A man’s life is the story of his fears, said A. S. Neil. Fear threatens, cripples and even paralyses. We may ardently desire to love, long to forgive or to reach out to others in friendship. But fear of ridicule or of rejection holds us back and away from others. We may aspire and plan to achieve great things, but fear of failure, of criticism and of disapproval often prevails and we hesitate to take the ﬁrst step. Overcome with fear, we do not dare to take even a reasonable amount of risk.....
