FREEDOM FORM THE RULE OF FEAR

“It (fear) was an evil and corroding thread; the fabric of our existence was shot through with it.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 67:3

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7

For what it’s worth: Step Four of Alcoholics Anonymous introduced me to the reality that the “corroding thread” of fear affected every aspect of my being. It dominated my thoughts and behavior even well into recovery. Years of sobriety and daily practice of the Twelve Steps gradually taught me that my Higher Power did not intend for me to be ruled by fear. He wanted me to be free of any master except Him. So God, with His power and love, provided a way to freedom from the rule of fear, namely Steps Five, Six and Seven.

God bless you!
