Question: If a person has fear, he or she must strengthen their faith in the Creator. If the fear is not leveled, one should not ask for it to be taken away because it comes from the Creator.

In this case, how do we work with fear correctly?

Answer: It does not matter. You can even ask the Creator to take away the fear and annul it. Even better, ask Him to raise you above this fear. This is the most important. It is good when you can react like that.

Question: But I do not want to fear the Creator, I want to be like Him, to adhere to Him, and to love Him. Is it possible to replace fear with love?

Answer: No, because we are egoists, there must be fear first, and then love.
