“Dr. Jay Adams explains: The enemy of fear is love; the way to put off fear, then, is to put on love. . . . Love is self-giving, fear is self-protecting. Love moves towards others; fear shrinks away from them. But . . . love is the stronger since it is able to “cast out” fear. In dealing with fear, nothing else possesses the same expulsive power.4”

“You must understand this. If you are dominated by sinful fear, worry, and anxiety, your problem is that you are too self-centered. You are a selfish person. You are thinking about yourself too much.”
― Wayne A. Mack, Courage: Fighting Fear with Fear

“So if you feel unworthy of God’s love, you can turn in one of two directions. You can turn inward, in which case you are looking for a little self-worth to bring to the Lord, and that is pride. Or you can turn to him and discover that he has a heart for the unworthy. He pursues those who, like Hagar, have no glory or honor in themselves.”
