Fear, Anxiety, Intimidation, are few of the traps one must avoid. This is a must because of many reasons. Fears allow the self to believe that there is insufficient quantity to pass the goal intended. Anxiety paralyzes the body to move forward. Intimidation creates the idea that one is unequal then another. Therefore these all fit into a category of unnecessary.

However, we live in a world where many are consumed by these traps. I would speculate to call them negative feedback loops. However, they get people stuck, and unable to move on, and the loop can consume someone's day. Therefore hope, rationality, and controversy must be brought to their attention. A person must find its weakness, the ability to defuse the bomb at hand. While the opportunity is provided to grow in more fear, anxiety, and intimidation, the person must find skill in passing through the difficult situation.

When I was a freshman in high school, I had a demeaning job of a paper route. I remember one day I was having a rough day at school, and afterwards I had to do a paper route. While I was peddling away up a sturdy hill, some musical words started simmering out of my mouth. I started to sing... "Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you!.... Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you!"

This season in my life has continue to challenge me in various ways. The anxiety has become overwhelming, and seemingly unbearable. However, the truth comes down to the fact that I need to trust God. I need to ask him to open my heart. That I may have a slight moment where I am able to see his strength and courage. It may be a moment where I feel at peace with my life, or a moment where God has got me excited to move forward. This I think answers the question at hand. What is the weakness of Anxiety? The truth is to embrace it and find humility in asking God for peace.

Peter walked on water, and so can I, and so can you.... whoever you are my reader. I hope this brought encouragement
