Bible Verses that Help When You're Afraid | Telecare

Fear can be paralyzing, taking away our power to move forward. But the Bible holds a message of hope and courage that can provide strength when the journey is long and difficult. In this blog post, we will look into powerful Bible verses designed to help us find comfort in times of fear. Whether you are a believer or simply searching for words of encouragement, these scriptures offer insight on how God's love develops an unshakable faith even amidst adversity - one that empowers us with newfound courage! Through these powerful verses, let’s discover how trusting in God gives us the assurance to face any fear head-on and ultimately overcome it!


Here are some Bible verses that may bring comfort and encouragement when you are afraid:

  1. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7
  2. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10
  3. "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." - Psalm 56:3
  4. "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?" - Psalm 27:1
  5. "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." - Psalm 46:1
  6. "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7
  7. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27
  8. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
  9. "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing." - Zephaniah 3:17
  10. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7


We can find solace in the words of wisdom from the Bible. Remember that God is always with you, no matter what your fear may be. Look to the scriptures for strength and courage and speak those verses aloud to gain insight and understanding during times of distress. Trust that God will provide solutions to our problems and lead us out of darkness with God's grace.

When my husband passed away three years ago, I lost more than a partner—I lost my sense of purpose. My name is Margaret, and I’m 72 years old. I spent nearly 50 years married to the love of my life, building a home, raising children, and sharing every part of my day with him. When he was gone, the house we filled with laughter and memories became unbearably quiet.
