Unhealthy Fear is such a useless and harmful emotion. It clouds our minds and hearts and robs us of our joy…

Did you know what the true enemy of God is? Satan or Lucifer? Not really; he was once favored. Hatred? No, too close to love – like the opposite sides of the same coin.

Ok, you guessed right, it is unhealthy fear; an irrational, emotional response to illogical threat and/or danger.

Fear is healthy when we are faced with real threats and immediate dangers.
Sistah Saints know when to fight or flight with the best of them – We have all lamented, “Hold my earrings for me til I finish up here.” Or “Feet don’t fail me now!”

But that internal, churning fear that makes us unhappy and gives paralysis to our willpower – in other words, Stops us in our Tracks – that, is unhealthy fear. The unhealthy fear that gives us brain freeze and separates us from God because where fear lives, God cannot dwell.

Most of our present fears are rooted in what Buddhism identifies as “delusions” – distorted ways of looking at ourselves and the world around us. If we learn to control our mind, and reduce and eventually eliminate these delusions, the source of all our fear, healthy and unhealthy, is eradicated.

Seek help, therapy, good advice when it comes to unhealthy fear. Talk it out. Set Goals. Defeat the Enemy (Unhealthy Fear).

Once we have done this, we become fearless.
