Fear
Fear is an eternal warning cry that danger is nearby and we had better do something about it. It readies our bodies to flee or hide.
Doesn't have also sound like what a panic attack does? I remember learning about flight or fight response and how your body just takes over when it gets alarmed.
The problem is that for most of us, fear strikes when it's neither helpful or wanted. The book I am reading says that fear and worry are on in the same. Fear is caused by an external source while worry/anxiety is produced from the inside. Worry is fear that's unpacked it's bags and signed a long term lease. I have never thought of it, but that sounds true. Worrying is fear of the unknown, or waiting for something to happen.
If I am walking closely with God, if I have the sense of God bring with me, I find that problems lose their ability to damage my spirit.
