The Truth About Fear

"I am not alone. The Father is with me."

1. My Father is always with me. He will never leave me.
*Mt 28:20 “…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

*Ex 33:14 The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

*Isa 43:2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.”

2. My Father wants to hold and comfort me when I'm afraid.
*Isa 66:12-13 For thus says the LORD, "Behold, I extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you will be nursed, you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees. As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem ."

3. My Father is lovingly and faithfully watching over me.
Ps 121:3,4,7,8 He will not let your foot slip--he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD will watch over your life. The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

4. My Father has confidence in me. (He provides all that I need in every situation.)
*Php 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

5. The Father is always present to help me.
* Ps 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

*Isa 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.

*Isa 50:9 It is the Sovereign LORD who helps me. Who is he that will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment; the moths will eat them up.

*Heb 13:6 So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

6. I can rest in the strong and capable arms of my Father.
*Dt 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “'Destroy him!”
*Isa 46:4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

7. My Father is always there for me. He wants me to trust Him.
*Jn 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”

*Ro 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

*Ps 13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

*Ps 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

*Pr 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
