Fear is natural. How we deal with it as Christians, not so much so. :)

As you know, the whole faith vs. fear thing is a big deal to me.  We are told over and over and over….do not fear.

The problem is that fear is a natural reaction.  So how do we "not fear"? 

2 Corinthians 7:5(NKJV)

For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 

Haggai 2:5(NKJV)

‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’

I would say that you have to be grounded in Scripture and then you have to discipline your mind to stand on those Scriptures.  When you feel yourself slipping to the fear side make a very conscious decision not to fear.  It takes practice but you can do it!!!
