Fear is a complex emotion that can be both protective and harmful. While healthy fear keeps us safe, chronic anxiety plagues our modern world due to constant pressures and negative media. The Bible distinguishes between reverent fear of God, which leads to wisdom, and terrorizing fear, which we're told to avoid. Like sheep with a shepherd, we find peace by staying close to God, who doesn't always remove our fears but promises to be with us through them. By identifying our fears, examining their sources, and bringing them to God, we can develop a healthier relationship with fear.
