One of the best Scriptures to combat this statement is found in II Timothy 1:7 where the Apostle Paul exhorts the naturally timid & young Timothy to boldness and faithfulness. “For God did not give us a Spirit of fear, but a Spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” Sprinkled throughout the Bible God tells us to not be afraid, but we are still often seized with the paralyzing anticipation of harm or danger. That’s when it’s the time to pray, for it tells us in Isaiah 40:29, “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength.”…and if we add on Colossians 1:11, “Being strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might…” We can realize that we may be fearful… but we are also undergirded by the Holy Spirit’s power & strength to move forward boldly.
