Psalm 56:3 Old Testament
"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."
Matthew 10:28 New Testament
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
2 Timothy 1:7 New Testament
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of sound mind."
1 John 4:18 New Testament

Prayer

Jesus taught us to bring our anxious hearts to the Father, reminding us that He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).

Father, You are sovereign over every circumstance that makes me afraid. I confess that fear often feels bigger than Your promises, and I need Your strength to trust You more than my anxious thoughts. Help me to run to You when fear whispers lies, and fill me with Your perfect love that casts out fear. Teach me to fear You alone, knowing that You hold my life in Your hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.
