Always remember that Faith and Fear do not occupy the same space! It isn't possible... the slightest inkling of fear that sneaks in immediately pushes every bit of hope and faith out. Our thoughts are so powerful. Everything we ever imagine is already out there waiting for us. We can only hold one thought at a time, so its important that we pick that one thought wisely and try to guard the things that enter into our mind at all times. When you choose to hold onto a negative thought or emotion you are willingly choosing to become a slave to the person whom it is against or the negative emotion. Chances are the person or thing that is bothering you doesn't even know or care. Why would you give that kind of control to anyone else?
By guarding your thoughts... you are starting a new path into a happier and healthier life style. It will be harder in the beginning, but if you keep at it, you will succeed. Light and dark also cannot occupy the same space... light always wins. You cannot turn on the dark to turn off the light, it's impossible. A positive thought or the act of Faith will always conquer the Fear and negativity in our lives.
Just read an amazing scripture that made me think of your article on Fear and Faith. It is 1 N 17:13. If wilderness is like unto "fear" and "Light" is like unto Faith, it gives a lot of clarity about the power of "Light" to bring one out of the "wilderness" and to the "promised land" of peace and eternal life. Just wanted to share this with someone before I forgot the power it had for me.
