Many times our predominant thoughts are about life issues that are affecting us at every point in time. Marriage, children, career, relationships, health, finances, etc. Some times the thoughts around these areas of life are pleasant, at other times they are not.
Fear can be tackled as it begins to build in the mind by choosing to focus on a different (positive) picture than the one offered by fear.

Romans 3:27 shows us that there is a Law of Faith. Just like seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, day and night (Genesis 8:22), the Law of Faith is a constant—always present, always working. When you understand this law, you can use it to maximize everything that is available to you in Christ.
As subtle as it might seem, verbal abuse can be as harmful as physical abuse. If you feel your self-worth and confidence is eroding from continuous exposure to insults, ridicule, abuse, especially from people you love and respect, maybe it’s time to take a stroll. You’re probably in the wrong place, with the wrong company, in the wrong relationship.
