Fear is the currency is of the devil's kingdom. The enemy always seeks to create worry/anxiety so that you can panic and make mistakes/fall into temptations. Fear is the absence of faith. It's the direct opposite of all the fruits of faith. If faith makes you bold, courageous, hopeful; Fear makes a man lose self esteem, hopeless, a coward.

You need faith in this world inorder to live victorious in this challenging world. Faith comes through hearing and hearing by the word of God. Why God? Our faith is perfected in him because he is our origin/maker. Without God being the center of our lives, we are imperfect and are bound to fail in all our plans. Strength and Wisdom comes from God.

However much man tries to sideline God, boosting of all that he has achieved in life, qtaking full credit of all his success, its God who constantly provides him the strength, that breath of life, and wisdom to achieve all that he desires to achieve.
