Again and again God tells His people not to be afraid, not because life is always safe, but because He is with them.

“Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.”
“Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.””
“For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.”
“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.”
“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.”
“The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?”
“Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.””
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.”
