What Does the Bible Say About Terrorism?

Scripture reveals that God's presence and protection are more real than any threat—and that fear of man, not danger itself, is what actually enslaves us.

Scripture on Terrorism

Psalm 27:1 Old Testament
"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?"
Proverbs 29:25 Old Testament
"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe."
Isaiah 41:10 Old Testament
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
2 Timothy 1:7 New Testament
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
1 Peter 3:13-14 New Testament
"Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened."
The Bottom Line
Your fear is not bigger than your God, and your God is not surprised by evil.

When you feel anxious about safety or news, pause and pray one of these psalms out loud—not to deny real threats, but to anchor your trust where it actually belongs.

Prayer

Jesus promised us peace, not the absence of trouble—and invited us to cast our anxiety on Him because He cares (1 Peter 5:7).

Father, I'm asking You to do what only You can do—guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, even when the world feels unstable. I confess that I often trust the news cycle more than I trust Your sovereignty. Strengthen my faith to believe You're not caught off guard. Help me love people and serve them, not shrink back in fear. Keep my family, my community, and all who follow You safe under Your hand. In Jesus' name, Amen.
