Energy Drain: Fear

‘Lord, thank you that your love casts out fear. Please forgive me when I spend my energy avoiding fear’.

‘It took me a long time to become aware of the presence of fear in my life. I had virtually eliminated fear by investing enormous amounts of energy in avoiding failure and criticism. I didn’t think of myself as fearful, because I was generally successful in avoiding what I feared. But doing so required compulsive over-achievement … of staying on the treadmill of earning respect. I was paying a very high price for my avoidance’ – David Benner.
