Fear is one of the oldest visitors to the human heart, and the Bible never pretends otherwise. Again and again God says fear not, not as a command barked from a distance, but as a father's hand on a trembling shoulder. The verses gathered here have steadied saints in dark rooms and on hard nights for thousands of years.
