Is Fear Affecting Your Life?
Does it Ever Steal Your Peace and Disturb Your Sleep?

In today's world, fear has become epidemic. It takes away our sense of well-being; stresses our mind, body, and soul; and can keep us from doing what we need to do.

The good news is that you can enjoy freedom from damaging fear by establishing your heart and mind on the comforting truths of God and learning how to pray in power. Stormie Omartian shows you what to think, say, and pray the moment you sense fear in your heart, and what you can do to combat anxiety. She offers help for overcoming such life-inhibiting fears as:

• fear of rejection
• fear of evil
• fear of suffering
• fear of death
• fear of loss
• fear of the future

As you rely on the Lord's strength to conquer fear, you will discover the distinction between the fear God does not want us to have, the fear God allows us to have, and the fear God wants us to have. Learn to pray and claim the power, love, and sound mind God has for you.

Stormie Omartian is the bestselling author of the Power of a Praying (R) series (more than 37 million books sold). Her other books include Just Enough Light for the Step I'm On; Lead Me, Holy Spirit; Prayer Warrior; and Out of Darkness. Stormie and her husband, Michael, have been married more than 45 years.
