Fear is a Chain

"I prayed to the Lord and He answered me.  He freed me from all my fears."  Psalm 34:4

Fear makes a life small.  Fear is a chain wrapped around an idea.  And once set, the chains tend to grow and affect bigger and bigger sections of your life until you're so confined that life is little more than a heartbeat.

The Lord sees into our hearts.  He sees our chains and loves to break them for us.  Fear easily overpowers us, but it's no match for the Lord's light.  It must be so gratifying for the Lord when He gets to break fear's hold and set us free.

Do you see fear in your life?  Don't settle.  Follow David's example.  Pray to the Lord and then listen for Him to answer you.  Punishing yourself (or someone else) by letting fear linger is not a decision inspired by the Lord.  Root it out as quickly as you can.
