Fear is a feeling of reverence, awe and respect, or an unpleasant emotion caused by a sense of danger. Fear may be directed toward God or people, and it may be either healthy or harmful.

A healthy fear is reverence or respect. For instance, children are to respect their parents. It is a valid affirmation that "the fear of God is the beginning of divine knowledge" as well as "the beginning of divine wisdom". A harmful fear is a sense of terror or dread. Believers, in God are instructed not to fear human beings because they cannot ultimately harm us. Wicked people, however are constantly fearing other people, especially the righteous and the holy. Such fear causes them to act deceitfully in a attempt to hide their sins.

On the other hand, the unbeliever, in God has every reason to be panic - stricken at thoughts of God, for he and she stands condemned before Him. And yet, this kind of fear of God does not often lead to repentance. It normally leads to a feeble attempt to hide from God or worse to a denial of God's existence and His claims on a person's life. But, do not be despair. Prayer has power over everything. Because God is personal, all people can offer prayers. Prayer meets inner needs.

One who prays will receive freedom from fear, strength of soul, guidance, wisdom and understanding. Is prayer effective only in the inner lives of those who pray? No, prayer can make a difference in the lives of others. The most meaningful prayer comes from a heart that places its trust in God. Our prayers do make a difference in how God acts in peoples and the world.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
