Do not fear,
One theme of not fearing is prevalent throughout Scripture, and meditating on key verses can help us overcome our fears and find courage in God.
Here are five key scriptures that can help us in this regard:
Isaiah 41:10 - "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Psalm 23:4 - "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
Joshua 1:9 - "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."
Philippians 4:6-7 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
These verses remind us that God is with us always, and that we can trust Him to give us the strength and courage to face whatever challenges come our way. Meditating on these scriptures and allowing them to take root in our hearts can help us overcome fear and find peace in God's presence.
