In this book, you will discover ways to guard your heart and remove ungodly, destructive forms of fear such as
anxiety, worry, stress, phobias and panic. When Jesus says, Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them
be afraid (John 14:27), He means that it is possible to live in peace. It's important to know that with the
commands of God are the promises of God.

Fear and anxiety, once firmly established, rob the individual of joy. Not all fear is bad. God created a
fear response within us for our protection - for fight, flight, or freeze. But when fear becomes a part of
our daily lives even when no imminent danger presents itself, we cease to enjoy the abundant living that our
Lord promised.

There is an old Greek proverb that says, The bow that is always bent will soon break. What that proverb
seems to be implying is that the person who is always under pressure, who never has an opportunity to
release or let go, will soon break into a million pieces.

If there is ever a proverb that fits our society this is it.
Many people, like that bow, are strung out, full of tension, turmoil, fear, and frustration. If I had to choose
one word to summarize how people feel today, I would choose the word worried. Perhaps you have certain
concerns on your mind. You may be worried about the conflict with Iran, the economy or personal finances.
Parents are worried about their children; children are worried about their parents. Some people worry all the
time. If they are not worrying, they are worried that they have nothing to worry about.
