Rev. Elzia shared his thoughts on Transforming Fear to Faith! Fear is one of the most common human emotions.  Most of us are raised and trained to embody fear in a myriad of ways.  There is also the human trigger mechanism to fear that induces a fight, flight, or freeze response as a physical protective system.

From a spiritual perspective, the way to overcome fear is through faith.  Faith is the mental equivalent of fear at the opposite side of the spectrum.  With the development of faith comes trust, knowing, focus, confidence, and courage.  Faith helps us to push through the fear.  Over time with spiritual maturity, fear diminishes and faith increases, even as new fears arise and are conquered.

Surrendering your problems in faith to the Divine is not crazy; it’s cosmic liberation.  So set your soul free.  Pray like you have nothing to lose except your fear. – Caroline Myss, Intimate Conversations with the Divine
