After the passing of my only son in a car wreck 9 years ago fear for my loved ones has become a daily occurrence as I wake up......my only consolation is that when it occurs I immediately hand it over to my dear Holy Spirit.
Recognizing an emotion such as fear is the first step. Allowing yourself to experience it builds empathy in your heart for those going through similar circumstances so that God can use it for the good of others. Nothing that we give to Him returns void!
