faith vs fear

i subscribe to Joel Osteen's newsletter, n recently he has been talking a lot about faith, n fear, n how they both work in the same way, but in opposing directions. so we should choose faith, n trust in God. so that is what i am doing. shoo away now fear, off with you, i declare you are nothing and u have absolutely no control over me. so faith, i have faith, i believe in God, n i trust God. thank you God, for all your blessings.
