You form certain beliefs, for one reason or another—and then you have to live with them. When you were growing up, well-meaning people told you many negative things by way of warning, thereby implanting fears; and these fears are with you today, consciously or subconsciously.
You meet your fears dramatized. The things that we fear in our hearts have a way of coming to us in the guise of other people’s acts; of business conditions; of a breakdown in some part of the body.
Thank God it is not necessary as a rule to delve into the recesses of the subconscious and dredge for these things. In the spiritual teaching, as given in the Bible, we learn that by beating the symptoms spiritually (not, of course, covering up symptoms, but beating them) the fear or false suggestion that caused the symptom disappears too, and the patient is free.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace… (Job 22:21).
It is true that we out picture our fears and project them into things we experience each day. To cure the cause rather than flee the symptom, we must overcome the fear that is causing the problem. That is where God and our belief in God becomes essential. When we accept God’s promise and word through faith, we can then believe that our protection and best good is assured. It is this belief and the faith that forms its foundation, that cures the fear and relieves the symptoms of that fear.
Then, we can project our faith and confidence into the outer things we experience each day instead of our fears. And although the fear may not be immediately cured, with time and discipline and increasing faith, we will come to know that God is ensuring that all things in our lives will be for our best good. That is when fear flees, and joy is what we project onto our world. That is when life can unfold in our gardens with peace, confidence and joyful anticipation of each day and each event whether desired or feared.
Projecting joy,
