Isaiah 41:10. Fear not, for I am with thee. God's presence, not the removal of danger, is the reason we need not fear.
2 Timothy 1:7. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Isaiah speaks to a weak people with a strong God. Timothy is reminded that fear is not from God; courage is His gift.
Lord, I am afraid. Replace the spirit of fear with Your power, love, and sound mind. I am not alone, for You are with me.
What fear am I treating as bigger than the God who says, I am with you?
Identify one fear you can act on. Take one small step of obedience this week, even while afraid, and trust God with the outcome.
