Freeing Ourselves from Fear

There is never any reason to complain or be afraid. You cannot be unfairly treated or threatened in any way. To believe you can is to live in fear and a constant sense of grievance. Let the Holy Spirit teach you there is no reason to fear; no one is attacking you. Your belief in the reality of attack is the source of the fear and guilt that dominates your mind. The Holy Spirit will teach you that you are not guilty and fear is never justified.  And He will demonstrate, if you follow His guidance, that you can live from the perspective of Love and forgiveness which will heal the guilt in your mind and free you from fear. Do not let unconscious resistance prevent you from asking for help and gladly receiving it that you may be free.

Whenever you think you are alone and in danger, remember Who walks with you. The only limits on the help He can give are established by you. The Holy Spirit’s ability to help is unlimited and available for the asking. You must ask and listen with an open mind, receive what is given, and respond as guided.” (From the Christ Mind Book II, p.119)

We do not need to live in a constant state of concern, worry, anxiety or fear. We do not need to be on constant alert, wary of potential danger. The help we need to learn that we are eternally safe is available to us now. To know that we have it, we need to ask for help with an open mind, without a predisposition of how the help should come or what it should look like.

As we receive the help, we need to accept it and act upon it. It does not serve us to receive help but not act upon it. If we follow through by acting on the help we receive, we will demonstrate to ourselves that the help works. We will gain confidence that we have help. We will be less willing to wallow in fear because we know there is a better way.

Today is a day to practice asking for help, accepting it and acting upon it. Thus will we free ourselves from fear.
