Bible Verses About Fear
'Fear not' appears in the Bible over 300 times. That repetition is not accidental — it suggests that fear is universal, persistent, and something God takes seriously enough to address again and again. These verses don't dismiss fear. They meet it directly.

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.
Four promises in one verse: I am with thee, I am thy God, I will strengthen thee, I will uphold thee. Fear is met with presence and power.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Fear is not from God. Power, love, and a sound mind are. This reframes where fear comes from — and where to look instead.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
Not 'I will not be afraid.' I will trust when I am afraid. The fear doesn't have to disappear for faith to act.
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.
Whithersoever — wherever. No location, no situation, no depth of fear is outside of that promise.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Love and fear cannot fully coexist. The antidote to fear, in scripture, is not courage — it is love.
