Fame, Money, And Success Will Not Take Away Your Fears
By Stan Popovich
Your fears, anxieties, and other problems have the best of you and you don't know where to turn
for help. At some point you feel totally helpless as you struggle each day. As a
layman and an author of a Managing Fear book, there were times that my fears had the best of
me. One of the things that I've learned is that you can have all the money in the world and
be well known by many people, but when it comes down to it, none of it matters when it comes to
dealing with your persistent fears and anxieties. Fame, money, and success will not take
away your fears.
The one source that a person should use as a basis in managing their fears and anxieties is using
God/Jesus as a basis in dealing with their fears. Why? The power of God is the one
power that is stronger than your fears and anxieties. Also, God loves each one of us and he
is the one person who has the power to solve all of our problems. He will help you if you
ask him to.
The first step a person should do in dealing with their fears is to start talking and praying to
God. A person can go to church or to a quiet place during the day to tell God that they are
having a problem. They should tell God how they feel and ask God for some of his
help. A person could also review the Bible and read some articles on trusting in God and
then apply these concepts in their life. Each and every day, a person should make it up a
habit to talk to God and ask him for his help.
Some people think that the answers that God provides must be religious in nature. That is
not always the case. God may provide the answers in a way that might not be religious in
nature. These answers could involve basic psychology and cognitive techniques that deals
with how to manage fear and anxiety. The point to remember is that although a person may
use these psychology methods, its important to use God/Jesus as the center of everything in your
life and in your struggle.
If you have trouble, talk to a member of the clergy or a professional counselor to help deal with
your fears and anxieties.
As a layman, I realize the most important thing is to continue praying and talking to God.
Talk to God as if you were talking to a friend. Read the Bible and pray hard. Be
persistent and be open in the avenues that God may provide to you in solving your problem.
It is not always easy, however God is in control and he will help you if you ask him.
