Today we will be dealing with 20 bible verses to read when afraid.
As Christians, God has given us the spirit of adoption which automatically make us God’s children. Jesus said He will give His angels charge over us therefore He won’t allow us to be harmed or touched by the evil ones.
We have given our lives to Christ, He is now the Director of our life therefore we shouldn’t be scared or afraid. There is no condemnation or debts for those who are in Christ that’s why we have been called to accept Him as our saviour.
Why should we even be scared when we have a great God fighting our battles for us, He has set us so high that no evil can befall us His children and guess what God is on our side
He said we should come boldly to the throne of grace and seek for Mercy or God’s favour. Jesus loves us so much,more than how we can imagine. Do not be scared , God is for you definitely no one can be against you.
When we are scared let’s read our scripture with the help of the holy spirit we will be encouraged and strengthened.
1. Psalm 91:1-10
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day.

4. 1 John 4:16-18
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 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.
5. Matthew 10:29-31

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
