The Spirit Of Fear
I have seen it work for me every time. Yeah though sorrow may endure for the night but certainly Joy comes in the morning.
The night has an effect of its own and it's left for people to understand and be able to assimilate this and also take charge of their emotions and fears.
A lot of things happen at night and it only takes a fearful person to shiver and easily get frightened.
The Spirit Of Fear
For he has not given us the spirit of fear but of love and of power and of a sound mind
Yet how many times do we wake up scared at the sound of anything unusual?
We are unconsciously scared when something unusual or bad happens and at that moment, we seem to forget our place in God and the power we will.
I woke up one morning, screaming at the top of my voice when we had a fire outbreak at home. I also remember an incident that happened some months ago that got me scared and even kneeling to pray was as if it wasn't enough because of how nervous I was till my whole system was shaking.
At that point, did I remember the word of God I quoted above? No! It was far from it.
I didn't remember, I was already shaking and shivering.
I unconsciously succumb to fear and it came at night.
I couldn't sleep well and even when I tried, my mind was still unstable and very disturbed. I played music to see if it will put me to sleep but it wasn't working.
But somehow, I was able to shut my eyes for an hour or two, thanks to God until morning arrived.
The truth is, there is this creeping spirit that night has over creatures.
There are things that normally during the day wouldn't get us so frightened, yet if the same thing is shifted to the night ot happens at night can scare the life out of us.
In our subconscious, the night is creepy and the level of fear is higher at night than in the daytime.
But whatever be the case, I am here to remind us that God did not give us the spirit of fear. He gave to us the spirit of love, power, and a sound mind.
If by any circumstances, we encounter something that scares the life out of us, we should always remember these words and remember our place in God.
Happy Lord's Day Beloved!

I know I always have to look through my window every night before I sleep 😴
A small crack wakes me up and the sleep flies away
But the good Lord is there to protect us, I think I Keep forgetting this part
However, thank you for reminding me about his goodness, faithfulness, and mercies, as well as his all round protection this Sunday morning
Lol, fear fear.
Yes, we should always remember God's goodness and faithfulness.
😂😂😂😂
Lemme ooooo, you that fear nkor 🙄🙄
Ómo, a lot of things scare the shit out of me especially in the night when it comes with creepy sounds. Sometimes when I feel scared, I pray and close my eyes really tight and let my mind drift to beautiful memories, it helps keeps me calm.
But without actually knowing it, they're a lot of other things we're scared of that really takes it's toll on us. Some of us get scared of love, some get scared of society and what they think, some get scared of failure, some get scared of their parents, the list just keeps going on.
It's normal to be scared but the real deal is what do you do after this fear comes on you?.
Just keep hoping on God and pray, your fears are nothing but mere dust
Nice one from you Chino.
I am glad that praying and closing your eyes works for you.
Stay sound and happy new week!
