THE WONDER OF WORDS: BOOK 2
ONE-HUNDRED MORE WORDS AND PHRASES SHAPING HOW CHRISTIANS THINK AND LIVE
"As night goes round the earth there are hundreds of thousands who should be sleeping, lying awake fearing a bully, fearing a cruel competitor, fearing lest they cannot make good, fearing some illness they cannot comprehend," wrote H. G. Wells. The word fear comes from the German word "(ge) fahr," which means danger, peril, and, basically, a trap. When you feel fearful, you have anxiety and agitation caused by the presence or nearness of some danger, evil, or pain.
