Emotions
Fear
The reaction to something we perceive as a threat, real or imagined.
What the Bible can tell you
Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10
For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
Psalms 56:3
A human reading
Fear is an alarm we all have. You do not need to eliminate it, but you can learn not to obey it every time. When you are afraid, naming it and looking for a point of support helps you breathe again.
