This is 60 seconds of small talk for a big thought. Fear is the strong feeling and emotion caused by an anticipated or awareness of danger. God thinks fear is so important that he mentions it repeatedly in the scriptures. Scripture references to encourage you to NOT be afraid: God is with you (Is 41:10), God will not fail you (Deu 31:6), God will not forsake you (1 Chron 28:20), God will help you (Is 41:13), God knows your name (Is 43:1), and God pleasures to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32).
