Overcoming Fear

(3) When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
(4) In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

(23) The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.

(28) Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
(29) Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.
(30) And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

(4) You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

(7) For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

(18) There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

(8) Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
(9) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

(6) nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
(7) A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
