"Perfect love casteth out fear..." 1 John 4:18
"God is love..." 1 John 4:8
Therefore,
God, being love, casteth out all of our fears.
God destroys fear through His love.
I'm a fearful person.
I want to change that though.
I find myself being afraid of pure nonsense and not letting go of things in the past that made me afraid.
But the thing is, is that I don't even have to be a afraid in the first place, because as Joshua 1:9 says,
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, and do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Jesus Christ said, "Lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the world." Matthew 28:20
Also, in Isaiah, it is written, "So do not be afraid, for I am with you." (Isaiah 41:10)
God tells us multiple times not to be afraid, because He is always with us. Always.
Why worry? Matthew 6:25- says:

Why worry? Matthew 6:25- says:
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Psalm 118:6 says, " The Lord is on my side, I will not be afraid. What can man do unto me?
Even Psalm 27:1 says the same: "The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?"
Lord Jesus Christ is love.
Lord Jesus Christ is light.
Lord Jesus Christ is our shield.
What is there to even fear when we call upon the God of love who even knows how many hairs we have on our head? That's how much he loves us and wants us to trust in Him.
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us and help us to trust you and to love you with our whole hearts, because since You are always with us, fear has no power at all.
Thank You.
