Am I a coward?

[~Shalhevet~]

If I have these panic attacks how will I stand in the end times without being fearful? Is fear a sin? I feel like a coward.

nah, I have shaking fits all the time...although i'm starting to think it's because of my eating habbits...

Fear of what? Are you nervous about something? Are you scared of the coming times? I think you are just a normal little bussy bee. and i don't think you are a coward at all. simply human.

Remember, you can't fear anything if He is holding your hand. Don't worry about being fearful sometimes; we all feel that way here and there because we're just human! In the end, all we will have to fear is abandoning our faith in God. And YOU would never do that. Please stop worrying so much, Shalhevet, it's not good for you. You're going to be fine.

As a man that lived with death as a daily companion for 30 months in Vietnam I can tell you that fear is not even cowardice, as some propose it to be. In certain circumstances it is the lunatic that has no fear. The thing to do with fear is to put it aside and to think on a good thing...one of your choice. If you're lucky enough, one day an event that requires you to act, in spite of your fear, and you'll understand that it is what you do with fear that separates heroes from cowards. If we are not stupid or insane we all fear.

I wouldn't say your a coward, but fear can be many things and caused by many things. Sometime having no fear can be dangerous to your health, another words doing foolish things.

Fear could be siding on the side of your better judgment.

Fear could be from not knowing the unknown.

Fear could come from life experiences (which isn't always a bad thing).

Fear is a gift God has given us to keep us safe form doing what could be something foolish and harmful.

Fear can get the adrenalin pumping in circumstances that are out of the norm.

Having fear is normal, if somebody says that they have no fears, I would have no problem saying somebody is lying.

So I guess your normal like the rest of us.

Jesus said, "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Believe in Him more than you believe in your weakness... ask and It wil be so... He wants you to have peace so others see it!

Rom 8:38-39

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

NKJV

How will it work? Well you just won't have wrong things when He brings you into His eternal presence... He has done a perfect job on redemption.... Love Steven

I would say that you are not a coward as you don't let your fear stop you and you keep striving to do what our Lord wants and be what our Lord wants you to be. Something I learnt long ago is that true courage is doing what is right or you need to do even though your scared. True courage is admitting something scares you but not letting it stop you. I would say you are a very couragous person as you have fear but you don't let it stop you

The doctors say that I have a panic disorder. I still wonder why me, why now? I was so good for over a year and then just out of no where all this fear consumed me. I realize this is a medical condition. I understand that I need these pills (that God made) to stop this from happening. There are so many "whys" and the more I question what happened to me the more anxiety I get. You're right that I need to relax and not get myself so worked up. I just don't want this condition to be a sin. I don't consider myself a fearful person at all. I trust God and love Him with all my heart. But I don't want to be a coward. I don't want to be afraid of what happens when God comes to take us Home, you know? I want to be able to stand on my own two feet and look to the Lord and not be afraid. But that's not realistic is it? How could I be afraid of God? I'm more afraid of stinky pants (satan) than God right now. He scares the living daylights out of me.
