This is a great article, solid and thought provoking.

We learned that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is the “Fear of the Lord”, recently some have tried to change this to the “Awe of God”.

What do you think?

F.E.A.R. forget everything and run, future events appearing real.As with any temptation to dwell on negative thoughts, I surrender them to our Lord and let Him bear them for me. Always praying for strength to endure.

I recognize my fear as coming from something that I cannot control. It is a control issue. “Who has the controls of my life? Is it the Lord, or is it me?” I ask myself. If I relinquish the control to the Lord, apologizing to him for fearing, (not trusting like I should be doing) because I myself cannot control something, I find my peace coming back. I say, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I know WHO holds the future, Lord, and that is YOU, not me. Please take over again, I’m not good at this. Jesus, I trust in you.” That allows me to relax about things.

When I wake up in the middle of the night; and my mind is buzzing with worries about the next work day – I immediately begin an “Our Father” and “Hail Mary”. Many times I am back asleep before I even reach the “Glory Be”.
