Beliefnet has arranged a beautiful gallery of 10 scripture quotes about facing fear. To get to the gallery, click here. It begins …
Everyone feels afraid at some point — whether it’s a gnawing, anxious feeling or a paralyzing phobia. Any change, even positive changes like marriage or a promotion, can prompt feelings of fear. The Bible offers powerful alternatives to those voices, reminding readers repeatedly, “Do not be afraid.” Click through this gallery to find Bible verses to help you overcome fears and anxieties in your life. (From the New International Version unless otherwise noted.)

hello. i am very new here so not sure of all protocall. my daughter sent me this sight and after putting it off for a month or so,i figured i cant get much more depressed or gainj muh more wt. so why not? then i get the guilts…with everything going on in the world,our country,state,city and neighbors…..how selfish am i for feeling depressed and at end of my rope over a break up with boyfriend
but thats my story…its not even a real break up,but i think im loosing him and now i think i fianlly realize how much he means to me. could this be bc there is anoher person invovled….could it be that this isnt the first time,(not with him). i feel im always the getting dumped,there is always someone else better than me that comes along. and of course the fact that ive gained 45lbs in past yr or so doesnt help…good ol menapause….i get all the symptoms and the mo. period too….who could ask for more…enough..enough…enough of my pity party,thanks for listening

I’m so glad you finally went to this site Terri. Therese always has really great things to say as well as the other people that comment. Really, it’s a lifeline for some of us. And it’s important to surround yourself with a lot of those (lifelines, people, support) when you’re going through a rough time.
Just know that you’re not alone. And you’re not selfish. If you haven’t sought any medical advice or counseling, maybe it would help to talk to someone objective–someone who will just listen and help you through this difficult time.
Keep on hanging on. Valerie
