Did you know that throughout the Bible, we're commanded not to fear 365 times? Yet so many people are still afraid. People are afraid of many different things. Afraid of Satan, afraid of dying, afraid of being single for the rest of their lives, afraid of snakes, and a million other things. I just looked at a list of phobias and you could be afraid of literally anything. The only phobias I really have is Ophidiophobia, Taphophobia, and Cynophobia which is the fear of snakes, the fear of being buried alive, and the fear of dogs. But there are some people who have lots more phobias than 3. Some fears, such as my fear of being buried alive, are irrational. But as I said above, the Bible tells us 365 times to not be afraid. So, therefore, all fears are irrational. Yes, there are legitimate fears, but there shouldn't be. Here are my top 5 favorite verses commanding us not to fear.
1. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 2. Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. 3. Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. 4. Isaiah 41:13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear; I will help you". 5. Isaiah 41:10 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. There are 360 more scriptures about fear, but these are just my favorites. All 5 of these are promises. You don't have to be afraid of anything because God is always there with you. So don't fear.
