Resist staying in fear

I heard the cry and I slowly walked up to the sitting room to see who caused it and to dish out their appropriate dose of cane.And then I saw the blood,all coolness vanished,panic set in and fear took over.within a space of 1 second I have imagined what was damaged,the route I will follow to the hospital, the emergency room,how will I do admission stay and all bills in this 'buhari' time.my daughter in a pool of blood.its so easy and natural to be controlled by flesh.its our human nature.but that's why we are now in Christ,our spiritual nature  takes over and rule the natural.as a born again child of christ,as you grow in your walk with God,its easy to react in flesh but to fall back and stay in it is akin and a sin.example: you getting angry or been tempted isn't a sin,but staying angry and falling into temptation is where the sin act lies.its so easy for our first reaction to unpleasant thing to be fear and panic but staying in it is where the problem lies.panic and fear robs your mental faculty its reasoning ability.you lose all sense of reasoning and do strange things.That's where the Holy Spirit steps in.as a believer you have him,you just need to trust and allow him.its not by power nor by might.As I rushed in fear and panic to pick my daughter up,he stepped in and opened my eyes.she was wearing a red dress and I calculated the red dress and the spot of blood into a pool of blood.fear robs you of reasoning.don't stay in it and act out a script for the devil.he is an opportunist.i relaxed immediately and examined her only to realise it was just a bruise.tiny little bruise.that is perfect and whole today.this same scene plays out in our lifes in bigger ways in our activities but the principle remains the same.the Holy Spirit always points you to the 'almightyness' of God which then belittles that problem.in Mathew 2:13,God knows the heart of men even before they conceive any evil imagination against you and your duty is JUST to trust him to lead you away from it.he has many options,he may allow you confront it and then victory is yours,he may remove it and thousands of other option.STAYING in fear is an evidence of lack of trust in God.Trust your partner the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance all you have read and heard (john 14:26).stay in the word.shalom
