Fear: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear,
and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
H. P. Lovecraft
***
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Fear is keeping things in your own hands;
faith is turning them over into the hands of God.

For I hold you by your right hand—
I, the Lord your God.
And I say to you,
‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.
Isaiah 41:13 NLT

“Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
***
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.
Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—
not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
Romans 8:38 NLT
***
Lord,
I acknowledge my fear and seek Your courage.
Fill me with Your strength
and empower me to face every challenge with confidence.
Remind me that You have not given me a spirit of fear
but one of love, power, and a sound mind.
Help me trust Your guidance and walk boldly in faith,
knowing You are with me every step of the way.
Amen.
