"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”
2 Timothy 1:7
On a daily basis, when I'm worried about something, I'm always reminded of this verse. I have a friend to whom I vent my frustrations , and she always reminds me that fear and faith can not occupy the same space. I have to chose one. As the Bible verse above states, fear does not come from God, and if it doesn't come from God, then you know where it came from. The enemy. God gave us the spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind.You can't have a sound mind if you're scared and worried about something.
Do I want to be fearful, or do I want to be faithful? I choose to believe that God is currently working on my battles on my behalf even as I write this blog entry. I choose the latter. To be faithful. I'm writing this as a note to my self, because sometimes reality is so up in my face that my faith is pushed way to the back, and I need to get it up front, and keep it there.
Which do you want to be, and why?

I am inclined to be and remain faithful. Though, as you stated, reality has its way of slapping the taste out of a person's mouth which, if asking, can lead to a certain amount of fear becoming present.
This has been my experiences in life. Still, I strive and sometimes even rise.
Sometimes I rise as well.
