A few verses that come to mind when dealing with fear. I'll try to add more verses later. If you have fear of anything, the things coming out from the media, and what not, please know that you can overcome your fear, with the blood of the lamb, the word of your testimony, and by not loving your life even unto death.
How to Overcome Fears:
1. Admit your fear. Don't try to hide or deny that you feel fear. By admitting your fear, puts you in a place of honesty and humility before the Saviour. A broken and contrite spirit He will not despise.
2. Tell God your fears. Cast all your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you. 1 Pet 4:7
3. The Great Exchange. Lord I give You my fears; in exchange I receive Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Please give me hope afresh that You care for me and that You are for me, not against me, because of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Emmanuel God with us.
4. Remember, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. If you have given your life to Christ, and have accepted into your life as Saviour, then He's inside of you and is bigger than any problem or life situation facing you at the moment.
5. He will keep in perfect peace he whose mind is fixed on thee. Remember, keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today and forever. He promises to keep us in his peace as we do our part to keep our minds focused on him. If we get off track, as soon as we remember to we put our hearts and minds back again on God's Word, on God's truth. Tell ourselves the scriptures.
6. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and of sound mind. Remember, God wants us to have faith in him and in his Son Jesus Christ! Remember, I do believe, help my unbelief! Even a small amount of faith in Christ can go a long way. God knows us and He understands us. God will carry us through any storm or life situation as we do our part (to have faith in Him); God is a faithful God who wants to show Himself strong to those whose hearts are completely His.
7. Have you felt far away from God lately? Our King is one prayer away. Remember, the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Remember the parable of the lost son recorded in Luke 15. That boy came to his senses, and, Lord-willing we can too. Cry out to Jesus Christ today. Remember Samuel's mom who poured out her heart before the Lord when she had been unable to conceive; God heard her prayer and granted her Samuel.
I'm sure there are other verses in the Bible that discuss fear and how we are to handle fear. Maybe you could do your own word study and see for yourself. God wants to help you as you face fears in your life. I hope these verses were a help to anyone reading this. Keep fighting the good fight of faith!
