Bible Verses About Fear
Fear Is Expecting The Worst Will Happen
What scares you the most?
Is it a fear of heights, or maybe a fear of spiders?
Perhaps the fear of dying?
As you know, there are many dangers out there, real or imagined, that have the potential to scare us.
When these fearful thoughts come to mind, it’s often stressful, even emotional at times.
For some unfortunate people, fear can even be debilitating.
Can you imagine being too scared to walk out of your own house?
It’s a real thing.
Trusting God
When my husband went through his heart complications last year, I’ll never forget sitting for hours at the hospital waiting for news.
When the doctor came out later to tell me that the procedure was a success, I burst into tears of relief.
Thankfully, I had two dear friends sitting with me for hours to support and encourage me the whole time.
Earlier, a couple of members from our church came and prayed with us before the procedure began.
It does help to have support from others in times of uncertainty and fear.
An encouraging hug from someone close can comfort you during anxious times.
The spiritual comfort we need most of all are the encouraging words found in Scripture.

What If
The “what if” game we sometimes play in our heads are enough to drive anyone crazy with worry.
It’s a game we can’t win.
When the “what if” game is rooted in fear, our human nature tends to consume us with thoughts of the worst possible outcomes.
