Psalm 23 4-5a ESV -Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

Psalm 27:1-2 ESV – The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.

Security in God’s love for us will lead us of fear of the enemy and his limited power and a healthy fear of God and His works.

2 Timothy 1:6-7 ESV – For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

1 Peter 3:14 ESV -But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,

1 John 4:17-18 ESV – By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
