2 Timothy 1:7

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but (He has given us a spirit) of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline (abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control).

We do not have to accept fear into our life about anything.  Fear is a blinder to the abilities of faith.  It is a step back from the power of God because He can’t work for us when we are in fear.  Faith-filled words can overcome the circumstance when fear-filled words will not.
