“Fear can be our friend, or it can be our enemy. It just depends on how we handle it. Reassuring self-talk is my go-to method to help me feel better whenever I’m fearful, and I often find comfort in talking with others about how I’m feeling. But hope and belief is an important parts of overcoming our fears.
We can experience worry and anxiety when we feel afraid, especially if we find it hard to turn our hope that things will be OK into a belief that they will. But along with hope and belief, I’ve found that prayer can also play a part in overcoming our fears. I don’t always get the things I pray for. But it has never let me down when it comes to eventually believing everything will be all right.
Call it belief or call it faith. It doesn’t matter much to me. All of the things I mentioned helped me to believe in myself more and a little more in something that created life and the universe for a reason.
Call it belief or call it Faith. It doesn’t really matter much to me. I just know that prayer, people, hope, and self-talk have always helped me with my fears during difficult times and to become a stronger person than I was before.”
