Reminds me of the hymn, Count Your Blessings. We so often forget and focus on the negative instead of the positive. Acknowledge it, and let it go, don't just ignore it. When you do that it adds up. You pretend it isn't there, and the next thing you know, it is blown all out of proportion. Life isn't either/or, it just is. That is we have a God to see us through it, no matter what it is.
Replace that fear with faith.
