How to Let Go of Your Fear



By Norman Vincent Peale

Here are four tried and true methods for overcoming the haunting fear of what might happen:

1.Let go and let God. Worry is a spasmodic clutching by the mind of an obsessive fear idea. To counteract it, insert in the mind the thought that you can leave your concerns with God. By a deliberate mental act, take charge of the fear spasm. Order your mind to release its frantic hold on the obsessive anxiety thought. In a word, let go and let God.

2.Remind yourself of one great fact and affirm it constantly: “God loves me and those whom I love. He is now taking care of us all.”

3.Having left your fears with God, affirm His watchful care, and go about your daily life confidently.

4.Every day, morning and night, thank God for his loving kindness. Believe and affirm the things for which you are thanking Him. The daily practice of the above techniques will condition your mind, finally, to let go of the haunting fear of what might happen.
