10 Bible verses for when you feel afraid

We all go through times when we feel afraid; whether it's anxiety about the future, or real fear about a certain situation. Here are ten Bible verses to remind you that God is faithful, whatever our circumstances.

Joshua 1.9:

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Isaiah 43.2: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

Ephesians 6.13-15:

"Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace."

Exodus 14.14:

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Pslam 23.6:

"Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

2 Corinthians 12.9:

"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

Hebrews 12.28:

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe."

 1 Thessalonians 5.24:

"The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."

John 14.27:

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

1 John 4.18:

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
