Conquering Fear

On March 4, 1933, during the dark days of depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in a radio speech, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
On September 7, 1851, the naturalist Henery David Thoreau wrote in his journal, " Nothing is so much to be feared as fear."
Three centuries before that, the French essayist Montaigne wrote, "The thing of which I have most is fear."
People in all ages of history have fought their fears in one way or another, but the only thing that really conquers fear is faith in the Lord: I will trust and not be afraid" (Isa. 12:2).
