"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim 1:7; NKJV). Fear does not come from God, He gives us power, love and soundness of mind. We must discipline our thought patterns (Phil 4:8) and reject fear.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid" (Ps 27:1; NKJV). With Jesus as our saviour He is our light, He shows us the way and gives us strength to resist all the fearful thoughts the devil will try to bring us. As we walk in God's love it will drive out all fear from us (1John 4:18). Jesus was on His way to heal a young girl when news came that she had died. Jesus simply turned to the father and said: "Do not be afraid; only believe" (Mark 5:36; NKJV). Jesus raised the child from the dead. When things in life try to produce fear in our minds we need to trust God, nothing is impossible for Him (Luke 1:37).
