Run To Your Fear.

This is a favorite line of a preacher that I admire. He always tells people to face their fear and to never give up. And how right he is.

Yesterday, I just realized that we can never overcome a fear unless we continuously expose ourselves to whatever triggers it. We can only really do two things about the things we fear - either we forever avoid them or we continually face them until we finally become immune to them. Two things, and it's clear which is the correct choice.

So from now on, my prayer will be:

Dear Lord, please help me recognize my fears and find their roots. Please give me the courage to face these fears until they no longer scare me. Amen.
