Six verses to name fear and choose trust

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

The verse does not pretend everything is easy. It gives repeated reasons not to remain alone in fear: God is present, he strengthens, he helps.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

David answers fear with confession. The question form makes it memorable because it brings fear into the light of who God is.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Paul encourages Timothy not to be defined by fear. Power, love and a sound mind give three clear words to rehearse before faithful action.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

This verse comes at a moment of responsibility. Biblical courage is not pretending fear is absent; it is obedience supported by God's presence.

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

The sentence is short and direct. It is useful when fear is connected to pressure, opposition or the opinion of others.

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Moses reminds the people that God goes before them and stays with them. The verse memorizes like a journey: before you, with you, never forsaking.
