How many people are living in mortal fear right at this moment? We have no way of knowing, for sometimes fear isn’t even recognized as such—but the figure is bound to be staggering. We have only to tally the number of people in court battles, hospitals, and mental health facilities, plus those living in other conditions of inharmony, in order to realize this. Fear is the root of many error conditions. Fear actually denotes lack of faith in the power and presence of God. Where the presence of God is recognized, there can be no fear.
God is everywhere present. God is in all. What is there to fear? These words of Truth are beautiful indeed, but we have not yet fully accepted them. God is present. God is in all. When we know this, there will be no fear. In the awareness of the presence of God, we are free from all negative conditions; we are relieved of all lack and all limitation. We function at our highest level. When we are able to live in the awareness of God’s presence constantly, we will know only perfect good.
