This Spooky Season is a good time to remember that while fear is fun during Halloween, it is not our natural state of being–or at least it shouldn’t be.

Fear Not is a persistent message in our scriptures. There’s a reason for that. It’s good for us not to be afraid.

Of course, even the most faithful among us will still experience fear and stress and worry. That’s just part of life. It is, however, good to remember that that’s not our natural or desired state…and it’s not what God wants for us.
