Fear

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
What i fear... I fear alot of things. I fear the dark sometime, I fear what is going to happen next, I fear the world when i walk out the door sometime, I fear what other people are going to think, I fear that i am going to say the wrong thing, I fear public speaking, I fear heights, I fear storms, I fear spiders, I fear getting test back from teachers, I fear the unknown, ......
Ya know i fear alot of stuff, this is not anywhere near 1/2 of the list of things I fear. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said "There's Nothing to fear but fear itself." Some people live by that, i kinda want to know what does God say about fear, what does God say we should fear?
I was looking at this video online and it was about fear. I got to it by looking at one video and it lead to another and then so on and so on. the video starts out with talking about fear. This guy it walking on the beach and it very moving i guess you can say... then this man or whatever you call it jumps out at him and hits him, and then he runs and runs and ends up in a moblie home, and then he pulls out a gun, and the gun was sitting on top of a bible and then he turns around and there the man is standing there and he shoots him more them once. Then he wakes up! It was a dream. He runs to the bible moves the gun and begans to read the bible, and says that he wakes up everyday with the same dream and about how he is tried of being afriad. He prays to God, to free him from the fear, from the nightmare, from sin then to free him from "MYSELF!"
I fear alot of things, but I seem to sometimes forget i have been free from that fear. God has commanded me to be strong and courageous, that i should not be terrified or discouraged, because He will be with me wherever I go. So ya know i dont have to worry about that fear anymore, cause I am free. I am free from my sin also, but there are those times were I have to remind myself that I am Free from myself! I have to ask God to free me from myself because I forget sometimes that ....for you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's... (1 Corinthians 6:20) God sent his son to die for me(boy how many times have i heard that, but everytimes it just seems greater and greater) So what does God say we should fear? I may be wrong but I dont think I am God tells us to fear nothing cause He is there with us through everything, and will teach us stuff through the smallest little things in L.I.F.E.
Here is the video that i was talking about....
