I have come to learn that fear is a lack of surrendering to God and the want of ourselves having too much control over our lives. In the thought process of fear, we seem to forget that God has the control ultimately, and it is a good thing that He does. We are human and we cannot do all the wonderful and magnificent things that He can. So why should we want that control? He knows it all and in that knowing, He has it all worked out for our good.

Friend, life is not always certain on anything, but fear does not make anything better. However, there is peace in what is certain; that we are loved by God, He is in control and He wants what is best for us. So, trust Him to do exactly that! He wants good things for us! Take a breath my friend, He has got us. For a heart that surrenders their fear to God, finds their peace in Him.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 3:19 NIV

and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
