Fears and guilt are a negative mindset.  Approach your situation with benefits and positives instead of what could happen.

Fear

Don't be afraid of people, relationships, caring, serving, being taken advantage of...

Love combats fear.  If we choose to serve, then we are not a victim.

Fear is tormenting and it grows.  He who fears is not made perfect in love.  We love Him because he first loved us. 

Guilt

Guilt is feeling bad no matter what I do.  I blame myself for negative situtations and conflicts. 

Jesus has forgiven me of all my sin. Past, present and future.

Discipline your mind. 

Control all loosely flowing thoughts and speculations that might distracts you from the gospel and hamper your obedience. 

An undisciplined mind leads to disobedience.

A gentle and quiet spirit is an inner attitude marked by the absence of anxiety, coupled with a trust in God as the blessed controller of all things.
