Prov. 29:25
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. Ps. 34:4
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Is. 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
2 Tim. 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
1 John 4:18
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. Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
The begginging is a bit strange. But so worth listening to the end!

Fear will take the best of us
Then come back for the rest of us
Its raging hunger never satisfied
It’s closer than a brother
And more jealous than a lover
Who holds you while it swallows you alive
Let down your guard
And it will steal your heart
There’s no thief like fear, no
There’s no thief like fear, no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I’ve tried to blame bureaucracy
The weak-knees of hypocrisy
And the cruel and shifting winds of circumstance
But I know insecurity
Is the worst of my own enemies
He sings his lonely song and I will dance
As he robs me blind
Right before my eyes
There’s no thief like fear, no
There’s no thief like fear, no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh Set me free, set me free
Oh my God set me free
From these chains holding me
Oh my God set me free
There’s no thief like fear, no
There’s no thief like fear, no
There’s no thief like fear, no
There’s no thief like fear, no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh I am free, I am free
Oh my God has set me free
From these chains I am released
For my God has set me free
I am free, I am free
Oh my God has rescued me
From these chains I am released
For my God has set me free
