God repeats 'do not fear' more than any other command — because He knows.
Isaiah 41:10
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God."
2 Timothy 1:7
"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."
Psalm 23:4
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
Courage is not the absence of fear — it is trusting the One who walks with you through it.
Lord, where I am afraid, be my strength. Steady me with Your presence. I am not alone. Amen.
