2 Kings 6:16
"And he answered, Fear not for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."
When we have the Lord on our side we do not need to fear.
Perhaps our Heavenly Father's greatest hope is that through our fears we may chose to turn to him. The uncertainties of earth life can help to remind each of us that we are dependent on him. But that reminder is not automatic. It involves agency. We must choose to take our fears to him, choose to trust him, and choose to allow him to direct us. We must make these choices when what we feel most inclined to do is to rely more and more on our own frantic and often distorted thinking.
As we try to live his commandments and pray to him, there are things he will direct us to do that will help calm our fears. These actions often require great courage and direction from the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost may help us to understand when and with whom we should share our fears. He will support us as we face our fears and dry to do things that we have never done before.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Tim. 1:6-7)
