There are thousands upon thousands of fears in the world. Many face several fears at once, while others seem to have no fear at all.

Some fears are ridiculous although there might be a reason why they might have that fear. So, why would one have a fear of England or Britain?
i have a fear of fear
(AFA) 🙂
fear can be really hard for people to overcome. It is important to have pieces like this where we talk about the fears openly!
I agree it can help fears to talk about them. SO many suffer in silence.
suffering is silence is difficult for the people that fear consumes them.
Yes I know this all too well.
it is really hard when you have people around you that are sick. my poor wife deals with that daily.
I often think of your wife, she has to be a strong lady.
I worry but in the end overcome it… we all worry but worry never makes a difference in an emergency you simply have no time to think about it.
I have found situations that required me to call for medical help for others..and some unfortunate sad times.
However, I found strength in not only God, but in the fine support and kind people who supported me throughout the whole process, of getting the police or ambulance…my people at work, the ambulance, medical people, doctors and our fine police.
Our police don’t shoot people and ask questions later. In fact our NZ police are people who are in the job because they like people
Yes we all worry for sure Pam. Wishing you all the best.
I will no longer choose to remain in fear
Good for you. Some cannot help but suffer from the fears.
Yes, I have some fears. However, that is not what stood out for me. The quote brought hope and courgage, just when I needed it most. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome. I love the quotes every day. Glad it helped.
I have a fear of heights. I have vertigo.
I do as well. It can be a scary and a sick feeling.
