We all have fears - fears for ourselves - fears about those we love - fear of what others think of us or do to us. 

 
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. . . . So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27

There are a few ways we can overcome fear:

• Name all of your fears - make them personal - when our fear is named and we recognize it - it’s easier to control them instead of letting them control you.
• Sing a praise & worship songs-
• Pull out some scripture 
• Pray - Thank God for your blessings, and focus on prayer for others
• Shift your perspective and look at fear as a gift that draws us closer to God and deepens our faith. 
• Phone a friend - to check on them or if you need help yourself. 

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
