I have come to realize that all of my fears are false gods before me.

—Mary Casey

Some days are free of fear: they flow smoothly with not a single “tremor.” What's different on those days? Without realizing it, we probably left God's work to God. Fears generally surface when we get too personally invested in the outcomes of situations and in the actions of people we care about. We get confused and think our wellbeing is dependent on them and what they do rather than on God.

Fear about anything is the same as denying God's presence in our lives. It's not easy to shake the fear from our minds once we have given in to it, but we can if we follow the suggestions of this program. Most of us have come to believe in a Higher Power. Remembering to rely on that Power, letting it take charge of our lives and will, is our most positive option.

Any fear I have today is of my choosing. Dwelling on God rather than on the fear will change every experience I have today.
