Bible Verses for Fear

"Fear not" appears throughout the Bible so often it's easy to skim past — but it's worth noticing how rarely it's paired with an explanation of why the danger isn't real. Instead, it's almost always paired with a promise of presence: fear not, for I am with you.

That's a different kind of courage than simply not being afraid. It's the kind that keeps moving forward while the fear is still there, because it's no longer being carried alone. Joshua was told to be strong and courageous not because the battle ahead was small, but because God had already gone before him into it.
