Take counsel from your fears
Miserable people always think about what might go wrong. They plan their actions based on their fears. The best they can do is imagine all the worst-case scenarios of what might happen. This is a recipe for misery. Someone once said that FEAR mean False Expectations Appearing Real. Very often, the things we fear might happen never do. When angels come to earth, they almost always begin their message by saying, "Fear not." I guess it would be pretty frightening to see an angel, but maybe there's something more to what they're saying. Perhaps there's a message about faith in there. Think about it. Angles come from this heavenly place, and the first thing our of their mouth is, "Fear not," as if to say, "You people down on earth are always afraid."
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 timothy 1:7
New Testament
Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
