When I think about my life’s events since childhood, I realize that fear has been with me all my life. Consider the typical life of a child: a toddler fears his mommy or daddy won’t come back when they leave, even for just an evening. A child often fears the dark when going to bed at night. As a teen, fear of not fitting in with peers or being laughed at is very real. Fear grips the heart of young wives at times when they begin to wonder if their husband may not love them as he used to or that their marriage might take a terrible turn. Young mothers fear having children and wonder how will they protect them, teach them correctly, or make right choices for them. Sending children to school brings a whole new set of fears. The fears only grow as those children leave the nest to seek their own futures.
