Does Fear/Anxiety Hold Us Back From Receiving God Wholeheartedly? YES, fear holds you back from living your life to the fullest. Everyone has fears and my personal opinion is it's ok to have fear. however, it's not okay to have fear consume your daily life. Fear can drown out the faith you have in God sometimes. Fear can be that little whisper in your head saying "I'm not ready, I'm not safe, God isn't with me, I'm going to get hurt, etc." It can be those little lies that make us step back from doing things that we need to do/want to do. I agree that there are fears that are rational such as anything that can cause immediate danger or death. Another way to look at fears is anxiety, more people suffer from it than there are that don't. anxiety can shake us and break us down to feel like we're not safe at all. anxiety is a constant paranoia that can happen even when everything is going well. It causes our bodies to shake and tremble
