Fear can be a good thing and a bad thing

Fear can be a good thing and a bad thing. ok, take walking in a dark alley in the middle of the night. You might get scared and start to think " what happens if someone is out here and want to mug me?" well, that is Justifyed fear. Of course you are going to worry, your out by yourself in a dark alley. It can be dangerous walking by yourself late at night. But what if you were in the alley in the middle of the day with lots of people walking there dogs and smiling and chatting to eachother and you start to worry about getting mugged, you cant take your mind off of the thoughts and the whole time you walk you are getting more and more scared. Thats unjustified fear. you know that Its light out, and lots of people are having fun, you should feel safe, but your fear is getting the best of you. For about four years I have had anxiaty attacks and I would totally feel spaced and start  to freak out.. my fear gets the best out of me, expesulay when Im around a big crowd of people, my mind goes so fast, worrying and thinking that people are judging me or if they look at me what are they thinking. When ever I have fear about something I try to think of verses to read that help me out and give me some comfort. Here are some of my favorite verses that I have eather memorised or have posted around my room.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” ( Philippians 4:6-7)

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged,
for the LORD yout God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9)
