How to Gain real Security

A sense of security is one of the greatest assets we can have.  When we have it we become efficient and contented, without it we can lose our ability to function correctly.

The three traditional ways that most people try to find security are in people, places and things.  Each provides a momentary security.  But what happens when all three of these areas are either working against you or not there?  We begin to feel as though the rug has been pulled out from underneath us.  A strong emotion of insecurity begins to set in.

Why?  Because security can't come from these sources, it's spiritual by nature.  The fact is only in spirit will we ever be able to find security.  In order to feel confident and secure we must have a secure spiritual life, which is why we must get close to God!  Victor Frankl, world famous psychiatrist said that it was his observation that much of our mental trouble comes from the fact that "we have broken with the sense of the reality of God".  We lose life's meaning; we feel a decline in well being.  We feel hopelessness and insecurity.
