When Fear Dominates The Heart
- Fear is a natural, hardwired response to real dangers in a broken world.
- But if fear dominates our meditation, it shrinks God and magnifies our trouble, warping our view of life.
Meditate On God Not Trouble
- Fight against allowing fear to dominate the meditation of your heart.
- Ask God for grace to meditate on him instead of your trouble.

- Meditation shapes how we think about God, ourselves, others, and our situation.
- As we meditate on trouble, joy and hope fade and God feels distant even though he has not changed.
