there is no fear in love..

i have been thinking about how scared i am. about a lot of things.
mark has commented on it a lot too so i know its a problem. i love my husband and how gentle he is with me. He always points me back to the Word.....which is where i am tonight.
I have done a lot of word studies on the word "fear" and ill walk away feeling the Lord strengthen me...but then a few days or weeks later i feel back at square one. and it seems to be getting worse as the years go by.

i'm not sure the root of this fear though. i am praying about it and want it revealed so i can totally surrender this and let Him heal me.

its selfish of me to hold on. to put fear above Christ.

Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Psa 56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

so im in the middle of this "fear" study when all of a sudden i hear what sounds like 4 gun shots in our neighborhood. my heart jumped in my throat. i instantly panicked. Thank you Lord for that test. and for calming me down!
