The Bible commands us to “not be afraid,” “fear not” and other variations over 300 times. There is said to be one command for each day of the year.
The Bible also tells us: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. Philippians 4:6 TLB
If you are fearful and worried — because someone is attacking you.
God says:
“Count on it: Everyone who had it in for you will end up out in the cold— real losers. Those who worked against you will end up empty-handed— nothing to show for their lives… Because I, your God, have a firm grip on you and I’m not letting go. I’m telling you, ‘Don’t panic. I’m right here to help you.” Isaiah 41:11, 13 MSG
