Our Bible lesson tonight was about fear.  What do you do when you’ve done everything you can do and now, you’ve gotta just “let go and let God.”

There are these moments when you are just so freaked out!

What do we do?

Take a deep breath and get ahold of yourself.  I know it sounds so simple but laying on your bed breathing deep from the belly will help relax you.

Listen to beautiful music

Read something that inspires you.

Watch the sunset.

Change your thoughts if they are not helping you.  Remember:

Just because you think a thought, that doesn’t mean it’s true.

And…

It’s VERY VERY VERY important that you don’t give into fear.  Fear will eat you alive!

Turn on happy music and dance, watch a funny movie, start a cool art project.

Do whatever you have to do to not sit with that fear.  There is really nothing to fear, but fear itself.  And fear is like a boggart – in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  Make it change form and then who’s in control?  You – that’s who.  Remember this scene from Harry Potter… Ms. Rowling knows her magic.
