Is it the pain or the fear of pain?

I'm not sure but today I thought that fear is such a really intense feeling and not one I want to experience all day every day. Thinking about the percentage of my emotions are fear-based, I would estimate 80%. What are my fears?
1. Fear of fear
2. Fear of pain
3. Fear of being found out (that I'm not smart, funny, fun, basically worthy of others company, admiration or love)
4.  Fear of being embarrassed (see above #3)
5. Fear of pain in my children's lives (thus pain in mine).
6. Fear of something devastating occuring (again) that will start the cycle of pain and fear all over again.
Maybe there is more, maybe not. That's enough for today.
 So my good thinking today is-confess to God the one who loves me, knows me, and already knows my fears all my fears. Then let him wrap me in his arms and love me so I can experience the peace that passes all understanding promised to me in the Bible.
