In my video addressing fear, I provided some scriptures about fear that should be referred to for anyone who needs the encouragement and reminder. Here are the scriptures that were presented in the video. Be blessed!
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” Isaiah 41:10
“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”” Deuteronomy 31:6
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
“The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25
“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?” Psalms 56:3-4
“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Psalms 118:6
“The fear of the LORD leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.” Proverbs 19:23

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2nd Timothy 1:7
“But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”” 1st Peter 3:14
“and do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” Matthew 28:10
And here are some scriptures that will tell you about our reward later
“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”” Revelation 21:3-4
““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
“… “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”” 1st Corinthians 2:9
And here’s more encouragement!
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39
“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.” 2nd Corinthians 2:14-17
Be blessed!!
Thanks for the scriptures and reminding me that God can conquer all. I have struggled with fear and anxiety since childhood. Most people turn to therapy or psychology to deal with mental illness. What is your view on placing your faith on psychology rather than on Christ. Finally is there a way that psychology can be used as a tool with Christianity to deal with mental illness.

Prayerfully meditate on these verses, and praise God in all your struggles. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. When making request of God, say this prayer: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”
Pray in such manner, and pray in faith with no doubt. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
God bless y’all. Have a blessed day.
