What Does the Scripture Say About Fear?
The Bible addresses fear directly, providing us with powerful promises to stand upon when anxiety threatens to overwhelm us. These scriptures become our spiritual anchors when the storms of fear rage around us.
In 2 Timothy 1:7, the apostle Paul reminds us, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” This powerful declaration reveals something profound, fear is not your natural state. It’s not a gift from God. Rather, God has equipped you with power, love, and mental soundness to combat fear.
Isaiah 41:10 offers further reassurance: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” This verse provides five specific promises from God: His presence, His relationship, His strength, His help, and His support. When fear whispers that you’re alone or helpless, this scripture stands as a five-fold promise of God’s commitment to you.
Psalm 34:4 testifies to God’s faithfulness in delivering us from fear: “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Notice that David didn’t say “some” fears but “all” fears. God’s deliverance is comprehensive, addressing even the deepest, most persistent fears that have become entrenched in our minds.
Joshua 1:9 commands us: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Courage isn’t the absence of fear but choosing faith despite fear. God doesn’t merely suggest courage—He commands it, knowing He has given us everything needed to walk in it.
