How do you handle fear?

Question

How do you handle fear? I fear the unkown because my husbaqnd and I are moving far away from home. I am so excited about the move, but will miss all my family and friends. I have had a lot of fear and I caused myself to get very sick, I am doing better but how does one feel safe and secure when you are not certain of the future. Any suggestions and any advice?

Answer 1

Honey, I've moved far from everything I knew, not just once but twice, all by my self. I did it because God was leading me and I asked Him to help me with that transition, especially the last one.

Ask yourself this, what is there to fear? Honestly, you have an adventure ahead of you that could open up new, exciting doors of opportunity for you and your husband. These days, friends and relatives are just a phone call, email, drive or plane ride away.

Did you have a say in this move, or are you just going along with your husbands program? If that is the case, you have lost something very valuable, you voice in your marriage. I'd be more concerned about that than a move if that is the case.

Otherwise, relax, research your new home and see all the things it offers. Then after your move, see the sights and get to know it.

Every human being encounters fear.Your fear is one that can be easily overcome...Just think about going abroad as an opportunity to broaden your view points and mentality.I was abroad recently for the first time and that too all alone.That really brought a new perspective into my life.You will learn how to be bold and respect others opinions and privacy.Dont fear the unknown..Look at it as a teacher.You can always call home when you are feeling low.But think about visiting a new place,having new food,seeing a different race,learning about their culture...That's so exiting and you are lucky to be able to do that in this lifetime!!!Seize the opportunity and enjoy!!you will feel homesick.Cmon you can overcome all that....After all your hubby is near you...Dont forget that you will always have family,friends and God to rely on in your low moments.They are just a phone call or an e-mail away....I wish you good luck in your travel...

Congratulations on getting better at dealing with fear!. To me fear is what you want to fear. I believe (for myself) that if I choose to fear something, I have decided I never want to know how it feels or what it does that I fear. For example, your moving away to an unknown place, understandable you could have a little fear in it because being put in the 'unknown' can make you unprepared for anything. But embrace the unknown the unpredictability because you can actually look at it as an adventure!. If you want everything in your life 'planned, prepared, expected' then that is one predictable life? And if you live by that way then if something doesn't turn out how you expect it should it can lead to a disappointment. But as your fear, you choose your fear, and ask yourself why you fear it. If yours is the unknown then living a life of how things are 'known' would that be a little unexciting for life?.

You can take responsibility of your future....keep reminding your self of if "you" heart of your new family will be living in fear how can you save yourself from tough times?
Ask yourself, if I 'll live in fear my children will also remain sensitive to feeling secured.They won't be able to face their fears...in the world of lot of competition.
Meet and Depart is "WAY OF LIFE" A bit of distance from family and friends is good medicine for valuing those relationships.....'you will become more proactive in maintaining them.And hey you are not going so far that you will not be able to contact them.....world of internet.....has grown and a lot....it can be best used to be with your family and friends.....MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FUTURE.......Think positive.....god will handle the uncertainities.Cheers

Fear comes from lack of faith. To have faith in God, means to walk seeing not by your eyes but by your spirit (If you ask God to take control of l your life) He will be your spirits guide, your spirit is strengthen by your faith. To have Faith is to ABSOLUTLY TRUST in the Lord I have done this for almost 3 years now and when times get rough and i feel fear the ONLY thing that sees me through is Jesus-My Lord and Savior Please know that you are never alone.

Hey you
How can any of us truely be certain for the future? Perhaps it is ingrained in us because we know the Lord could return at any moment. Nothing is stable. We could be called home at the blink of an eye (die).
But there is a comfort in that too. Hand over your worried to the Lord. He is the comforter and he shall still your heart of your worries.

I am a worry wart without him. So trust me.

Answer 8

God works everything for good. He will bless you if you serve Him. I think, by your name, you do. if you feel as though God does not want for you to move, don't. if you feel as though God was the leading force in you moving..take heart! He obviously has a great plan for you where you are going. If you don't feel anything in particular, I'm sure He still has a plan for you that will not be greatly affected by your move. if anything take advantage of the fact that you have a new field to sow in!

the fear is natural feeling we must fear and face our fears. I also believe that Allah will help us so i feel comfort to know that. many people live away from their family and they are happy and survive.
