Fear can result in being overprotective or overachieving, but a life ruled by fear is not sustainable and will inevitably result in burnout. Unless we begin to trust (the verb-form opposite of fear) God, we will not experience peace or rest (the noun-form opposites of fear). Without trust in God, life becomes an endless cycle of burnout (usually called depression in this cycle), in which our body recuperates and prepares for another round of fear-living.
