Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8
Many people are fearful of flying and that is okay. I guess it would be natural to be scared when sitting in a hollow metal tube 36000 feet in the air. But really it is safe.
Do you have certain things that make you scared? Rattlesnake encounters? Getting hit head on by a tractor trailer? Dying in a house fire? The death of a child? Being left alone in the dark? Dying of Covid 19? It is common to be fearful but you can control it.
Don’t dwell constantly on doomsday scenarios and the ‘what ifs’ of life or you create instant fear. Today’s verse says to think on good things. Constant fretting over things that may or may not happen only serves to increase your blood pressure and make you mentally ill. Get your mind focused totally on something else. Don’t feed your mind on scary thoughts. I know you can do this!!
PRAYER:Help me Lord to run this race of life to win and part of that is to have right thinking and control my wandering mind. I give you my fear and leave it at the foot of the cross. It is the enemy who tries to torment me and I will not allow it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
