Has your greatest fear ever really come true?

I read an article recently about fear, phobias, etc...and how often times, we consume our lives with unwarranted fears. Fear over the unknown can be cause for great anxiety, and most of the time, whatever it is we are fearing...never happens. So, has your greatest fear ever really come true? if so, how did you handle it? Did it help you to overcome your fears, in general?

My greatest fear is becoming a pedophile...no, Im not attracted to children and I'm attracted to women who are older than me, but becoming attracted to little boys is still my greatest fear...so far it's never happened... Thank God!!:eek::D

Deidre, is there something in particular you're scared of? Don't be afraid of love. God is love. Place yourself in His care. He will take care of you! He told me how much He loves you. :)

I had a great fear of becoming like my grandmother. My fear caused me to avoid being like my grandmother which caused me to be like my grandmother. Generics is a deep topic.

My greatest fear used to be spiders. You've seen my spider YouTubes. I love and hold and cherish spiders now.

By facing my fear and holding it and forcing it to bite me, I fell in love with my fear and became known to people as "spiderman". :)

Afraid sometimes of doing or saying the wrong thing, and when you think like that, you can become paralyzed with fear. Fear of the unknown, I guess. I mean, it's not a conscious everyday feeling, you know? But, it's one that pops into my mind on occasion.

That is part of the cross of being human. To error is human. A lot of good has come out of my many many mistakes though. Mistakes make us wiser.

Pray for the holy spirit to guide you, listen to your heart, gut, and conscience, then act.

You may still say or do the wrong thing but just pray for God's will to be done with it. Scripture says all things work for good for those that love the Lord.

Pray for God's will and follow thy heart. I know you have a heart of gold. Learn to trust your heart to lead you to destiny. :blueheart:

So you want him to do well and attributed that to your deity?
I believe God cherishes Deidre ineffably and will take care of her. She is in his arms. :)

I just realized that i wrongly assumed Deidre's gender.

I apologize for that Deidre, I meant no disrespect.

But I find it suspect that you call all of your good emotions "god" and all of your bad emotions you.

I suspect that this may be why you seem to underestimate your own value as a person.

I find that unlikely.

Because that same voice tells me that the god of the bible is evil.
Yes, my conscience goes against that God as well. I don't approve of what the God of the Bible did. But there is still truth found in the Scriptures. Just don't follow the ones that go against your conscience
