2 Timothy 1:7) For God did not give us a spirit of
timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning
fear)......~AMP~   
            Fear robs many people of their
faith. Fear of failure, fear of man, and fear of rejection are some of
the strongest fears employed by Satan to hinder us from making progress.
But no matter what knid of fear the enemy sends againetus, the important
thing is to overcome it. When we are faced with fear, we must not give
in to it. It is imperative to our victory that we determine,"I will not
fear!"       The normal reaction to fear is flight. Satan
wants us to run; God wants us to stand still and see His deliverance.
      Because of fear, many people do not confront issues;
they spend their lives running. We must learn to stand our ground and
face our fear, secure in the knowledge that we are more than conquerors.
(Romans 8:37). 
      Fear of failure torments multitudes. We fear what
people will think of us if we fail. If we step out and fail, some people
may hear about it; but they quickly forget if we forget it and go on. It
is better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.
      Approach life with boldness. The Spirit of the Lord is
in you–so make up your mind not to fear. 
            Face any fears you may have.
Determine in your heart that fear will not rule your life. Begin to say,
"I will not fear!"
