Fear?

You know "fear" causes a lot of other things like anger, jealousy, hatred you get the picture. I did not realize it was being fearful of something that makes these other feelings come out. God tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 God did not give us the spirit of fear, but rather he gave us a spirit of power, and of love and of self-discipline.
As we walk our daily walk and try to be in God's presence all day, we cannot have the spirit of fear upon us.
I get caught up in myself, how everything is affecting ME, especially now I am peri-menopause and my hormones just sky rocket and I feel I have no control over my actions. It is an awful feeling because I am not normally so cranky, irritable, mad, agitated and the list goes on. So I go about my day praying for God to take away my bad feelings etc. and of course I want immediate action! Ya right! So I am fearful of hurting God most of all and other peoples feelings.
So I have decided to walk in God's grace, Romans 5:1-5
1 therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

The Revell Bible Dictionary page 451 says about Grace: Grace, however, makes men good and enables them to perform righteous acts.
and, From the beginning, relationship with God was rooted in God's promise of grace rather than on our own self-efforts.
