"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you." ~Psalm 84:11-12, NIV
Sometimes, instead of being afraid of the bad things, maybe we should fight and work hard to bring good things into our lives. God is a light and a protector who bestows favor, honor, and good things to those who follow Him. We could spend our lives running away from the bad things, or we could spend it chasing after the good ones.
Running away sets up our mind to live in stress, in fear, breaking us down mentally and even physically - Google some stress-induced diseases. Chasing after fills us with hope, passion, the knowledge that someday we'll attain something. And chasing after God? It sets us up to get blessed by being a blessing and to change the world.
Take a chance. Start running - towards something, someone, perhaps a certain Jesus who loves you or a goal that God wants to help you achieve. No one wants to live in fear.
