In part, the success of terrorizing is based upon the terrorists' ability to threaten and disrupt other people's lives, to generate so deadly a fear as to impact everything. Paul the apostle, from prison, wrote to his readers about maintaining an attitude of faith: Philippians 1:28 (NKJV) " and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God". In other words, by faith you remain at peace, and live. That means I can be awake and aware of what is going on, but still live my life. I can play Upwords, ride my bike, love people. Enjoy my surroundings, trusting God, Who is bigger than fear. The world is unsafe. But God gives me life.
