Fear Not in the Bible: Isaiah 41:10
A recurring message throughout the entire Bible is that God's people do not need to be afraid of anything, because He is ultimately in control of all things. Whether it's a minor life setback or a seriously frightening situation, Christians are called to face it without undue fear, trusting in God.

Fear in the Bible: 2 Timothy 1:7
Fear can be a good thing when it's protecting us from physically harm or a truly poor decision, but fear, worry and anxiety are never excuses for not doing what God has for us. God promises us a spirit of power, love and self-discipline in exchange for our spirit of timidity if we only trust in Him.

Finding Hope in Troubled Times
Where do you find hope when things look bleak? Times are tough, and many job hunters find themselves feeling overwhelmed by fear. And no wonder! Headlines, news stories and casual conversations focus on the growing unemployment rate, increasing numbers of foreclosures, dismal sales retail sales figures, decreasing value of stock portfolios, looming layoffs and more. All this can instill a sense of hopelessness-especially if you are currently looking for work. Read the rest of the article here.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A 'No Fear' Christmas - #8165
...even with a falling messenger, that’s still an important message of Christmas. The Bible says, “The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy…a Savior has been born to you’” (Luke 2:10-11). Notice, “Do not be afraid.” That message seems especially important this Christmas. A lot of our personal finances are full of fear right now.

At some time in our lives we're all scared of something whether it's the dark or something we fear is close. It may be that kind of time in your life right now. ... You need a steady light that gives you something that you can count on in the darkness. ... The Word of God in John 8:12 says, "Jesus said, 'I am the light of the world, whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of Life.'" Jesus said, "I am the light." Here is a secure guarantee, "If I'm your light you will never walk in darkness."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Shadow That Scares Us
There's a big shadow that has bothered all of us at one time or another. To be honest, it can be a pretty scary shadow. You see that shadow sometimes when you're in the doctor's office, when you have a close call, or when you've been to the funeral of someone you know. It is, of course, the shadow of death.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Halloween-Real Monsters - #8131
I’m actually talking about that monster in your closet. Not the ones that you used to imagine were in there; the ugly stuff from your past that you’ve tried to keep in a closet where you wouldn’t have to face it. See we’ve all got those monsters, stuff we think is too scary or too shameful to deal with, but that’s a mistake.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When 'Charge!' Beats 'Retreat' - #5683
Well, maybe right now you're facing a big risk, or a big job, or a big setback, or a big threat, and everything in you and around you is signaling, "Retreat!" Your fears are great, you're feeling discouraged. Remember, God's ancient people made their biggest mistake turning away from the Promised Land because they were afraid and they got discouraged. You'll probably miss God's best if your eyes are on the circumstances or your feelings.
