Conquering Fear
The feelings of fear are very difficult to deal with but it's important you know you're not alone in struggling to cope with these kinds of issues. Feelings of fear and self-doubt are especially difficult when they are a constant part of your life, and this provokes anxiety. All of us feel anxious some of the time, especially when stressful things are happening (for example at work or college), but we must develop strategies to cope even soar during these times!

Trust God
As a Christian pastor I always begin with this. I am not a professional counselor, but I do know that we can draw much strength from a strong belief in God. Regardless of your religious background, taking your fear to the "Higher Power" does three things for you and your fears:
From ("Dealing With Fear" by Sharon Famonure.)
1.That there was One who is greater than my greatest fear
2.That I could get in touch with Him and He was willing to help me.
3. That I could literally give him my fears.

Trust Yourself
You may not feel you can do this at the moment. Try the following:
- Anything you can do which makes you feel good about yourself may help, from being around positive people to spending time on activities or interests you enjoy.
- Try not to be critical of yourself, concentrate your energy on doing things you like and thinking about what you have achieved.
Php 4:8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. (Amplified Translation)
- Foot In Mouth Disease
- By Jerry Ousley - There is a real disease that is commonly called "Foot AND Mouth Disease." I am in no way making fun of that terrible disease but it occurred to me that there is another disease that doesn't really affect the physical body, instead affecting the recesses of the mind. I appropriately call it "Foot IN Mouth Disease."
- How To Overcome Sin
- Everyone, at one time, has struggled with sin. A few years ago, I struggled with two issues. They weren't necessarily wrong for everyone, but I knew they were wrong for me.
- Dealing With Fear
- No matter how serene and unaffected a person may seem, there isn't anyone who is totally impervious to fear; everyone gets afraid sometimes. It is therefore not what you feel (fear) but what you do with what you feel.

Talk To Your Friends
One of the big reasons for unmerited fear is a low self-esteem. This is where friends can really help. Most people find it helps to talk about their fears with close friends or family. If you feel able to share your feelings, they may be able to help you regain some confidence by reassuring you and reminding you of things you have done well. If you would like more advice and help to work out ways to handle these feelings you might want to consider talking things over with a counselor. However, sometimes, people find it easier to talk to someone they don't know.
