Fear and Faith



The achievement of freedom from fear is a lifetime undertaking, one
that can never be wholly completed.  When under heavy attack, acute 
illness, or in other conditions of serious insecurity, we shall all react to 
this emotion -- well or badly, as the case may be.  Only the self-
deceived will claim perfect freedom from fear.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 263

Fear has caused suffering when I could have had more faith.  There 
are times when fear suddenly tears me apart, just when I'm 
experiencing feelings of joy, happiness and a lightness of heart.  
Faith and a feeling of self-worth toward a Higher Power -- helps me 
endure tragedy and ecstasy.  When I choose to give all of my fears 
over to my Higher Power,  I will be free.
