“Let your faith be bigger than your fear,” is a common saying.
I like to add, “Better yet, put all your faith in God, and you will have no fear!”
God is good and causes only good things to happen. Faith in this truth gives us power and understanding to stay out of trouble and live fear-free.
Thank you so much Evan, for this lovely reassurance, and for your uplifting gifts to us via Spirit View every day….
That huge tree was once a little seed!
And, as our thought grows into faith in God…displacing all fear, it will not just change our experience but that also of our family, our friends, our community, indeed our world. So, so needed today …the spread of Gods Truth. So grateful for this today Evan, as always you grasp the need❣️
Sweet! Brilliant analogy!
A grateful heart knows only God, What is all around us is but the
blessing He has bestowed upon us when we keep our hearts on
the real and true. Amazing Grace is our base our everything that we live
for. There is so much depth to this site and we are all blessed to have
it in our daily experience. There can be no fear where LOVE is. Keep us
in that place of peace, safety, and presence of mind.
Joy to all this day.
Thank you for this beautiful site and all your uplifting comments. Mind is God and fearless, even when error screams or appears to, Mind cannot be afraid so neither can we. This is a beautiful to experience.
much love to all

Oops. Meant to be the response to BarbaraUK. But still, a powerful thought that Mind is fearless. Of course. Years ago there was an ad campaign in NYC subways for the trade edition of Science and Health. The banner was “Living without fear.” A man ran into our Reading Room saying, “I need that book! Living without fear!” And the librarian was mystified and said we didn’t carry it. After he left the librarian realized in utter dismay what he meant. He prayed FERVENTLY to replace fear of his mistake harming the man with faith in God’s omnipotent, omnipresent Love. The man returned and both were happy.
The operative word in the title, to me, is LET…allow your spiritual understanding of all God IS to get out of your head and become the atmosphere, the space within you “live and move and breathe,
and have your being” Immerse in the Oneness, Goodness, Nowness, Onliness, ALLNESS: There is no amazing: just GRACE.
Feel it, know it, wallow in it! Just for a moment, even….then strong those moments together through out your day. You know the drill: “Be still and know that I Am God.” (There is no fear, eh?)
Yes! This is so true ! Christ Jesus’ admonitions we’re always “let this be so”: “ LET this mind be in you…”
He pronounced healing as the person seeking healing “from” Jesus when the seeker recognized his own, always present KNOWING his or her own faith. There us nothing we are doing except acknowledging with every thought God’s Allness, God’s Goodness~ ALL GOOD God♥️
My deepest gratitude to our Christian Science way of knowing; to Evan & SpiritView precious family; praying today, knowing Mind is directing all voters.
Love these thoughts Penelopebythesea – thank you!
Isn’t it “comforting” to acknowledge that there is a law of God governing every possible situation? Maybe that’s why the totality of God’s laws, Divine Science, is referred to as the Comforter? Acknowledgement of God’s, Love’s, laws removes fear and makes us realize the joy filled harmony that has been there all along. Through acknowledgement of Truth we experience truth!
KJV: John 14:15-18 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless:.
JB Phillips: John 14:15-18 “If you really love me, you will keep the commandments I have given you and I shall ask the Father to give you someone else to stand by you, to be with you always. I mean the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, for it can neither see nor recognise that Spirit. But you recognise him, for he is with you now and will be in your hearts. I am not going to leave you alone in the world.”
Whenever I think of the word “fear” I refer to this definition:
F = False
E = Evidence
A = Appearing
R = Real
Thanks everyone for your comments and thoughts today.
Having lived a lifetime in fear, it has taken many years (many moments) to build confidence, trust, and faith in God’s love and goodness.
Mis 15:13
“The new birth is not the work of a moment. it begins with moments, and goes on with years; moments of surrender to God, of childlike trust and joyful adoption of good; moments of self-abnegation, self-consecration, heaven born hope, and spiritual love.”
thanks Diane for that definiton.
Every day I receive a Bible Verse on my smartphone. Today it was from Isaiah 26:
“Lord, thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever; for in the Lord is everlasting strength.”
I love these promises in the Bible.
Thank you, dear Evan for your promise, we will have no fear, if we have faith in and trust fully our loving Father-Mother God.
The weekly Bible lesson and prayer helps me a lot to fill my heart and thinking with faith in God’s daily, loving guidance.
Thanks for all the inspiring and wonderful comments! ♡
F = Forgetting
E = Everything
A = About
R = Reality
God’s Reality never changes …
“Judge not according to the APPEARANCE”
Thanks Carrie. I’ve seen the other acronym for fear (which is also very good), but this one is not as widely circulated and I like it! Forgetting Everything About Reality. Not the appearance of surface, material reality, as you stated, but true spiritual Reality.
Another thought on fear, this is from SV of April 29, 2021 on dissolving fear with love, “……there was no reason to be afraid, there was no temptation to be afraid, and there was no one to be afraid. In the omnipresence of Love, there is no fear.” Powerful!
Thank you Evan, and wonderful comments everyone. I had never heard of the powerful acronyms for fear until I read them on SpiritView and so appreciate the added insight they give!
Quotes by others:
– If your body doesn’t appear to be governed by divine Mind, pray for a change in perspective. Pray to see divine Mind in control rather than fear, disease, or whatever error mortal mind is trying to advance.
-…”fear would set up a roadblock to that uplift in thought. It would keep us so focused on symptoms, conditions, and concerns about what might happen in the future that we can’t consider anything else. It would sow such turmoil that we can’t see the protecting power and presence of God already at work in our lives.” (by Daryl Francis, from the article, “When fear disappears”):
