We know that perfect love cats all fear out. "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18 How can we handle our fears? By believing God's promise. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 41:10, NKJV. "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." The Christian life is not one of fear - it is God's desire to give us the kingdom, not keep us out. It's in the Bible, Luke 12:32, NKJV. “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom"

We do not need to fear natural disasters. It's in the Bible, Psalm 46:1-3, TLB. "God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!"

Do not be afraid of people. It's in the Bible, Hebrews 13:6, TLB. "That is why we can say without any doubt or fear, 'The Lord is my Helper and I am not afraid of anything that mere man can do to me.'"

Do not be afraid of nations or governments. It's in the Bible, Deuteronomy 7:21, TLB. "No, do not be afraid of those nations, for the Lord your God is among you, and He is a great and awesome God."

Don't be afraid when you face persecution for what is right - the power of men to harm you, is not greater than how much God cares about you. It's in the Bible, Matthew 10: 28-31, NKJV. "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. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." We don't have to fear the future. It's in the Bible, Psalm 112:7-8, ESV. "He is notafraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries."

Even if God leads us into dark valleys, there is nothing to fear because He is with us. It's in the Bible, Psalm 23:3-4, NKJV. "He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me"

God gives us power, not fear. It's in the Bible, 2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV. " For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

Christ can give us a peace that replaces our fears. It's in the Bible, John 14:27, NKJV. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
