Fear

The famous evangelist and former Chicago White Sox baseball player Billy Sunday once said, "Fear knocked at my door. Faith answered ... and there was no one there."

Former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli once observed, "Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves."

Former US President Franklin Roosevelt, upon announcing the country's entry into World War II, declared, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

William Shakespeare penned, "Our doubts are traitors, and they make us lose what we oft might win, by fearing to attempt."

Corrie ten Boom, Dutch Christian Holocaust survivor, once counseled, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."

King David, the famous slingshot artist of Old Testament fame, sang in Psalm 27:1, "The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

God crushes fear.
