Psalms 27:1-3
The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation
Of David.
1 The Lord is my alight and my bsalvation;cwhom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold ▼
▼Or refuge
of my life;of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evildoers assail me
to eeat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
it is they who stumble and fall.
3 fThough an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet ▼
▼Or in this
I will be confident.Isaiah 35:3-4
3 hStrengthen the weak hands,and make firm the feeble knees.
4Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
iBehold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
Isaiah 41:10-14
10fear 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 jmy righteous right hand.
11 kBehold, all who are incensed against you
shall be put to shame and confounded;
those who strive against you
shall be as nothing and shall perish.
12 lYou shall seek those who contend with you,
but you shall not find them;
mthose who war against you
shall be as nothing at all.
13For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”
14 Fear not, you nworm Jacob,
you men of Israel!
I am the one who helps you, declares the Lord;
your oRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
Matthew 10:16

31Fear not, therefore; vyou are of more value than many sparrows.Ephesians 6:11-18
11 wPut on xthe whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against ythe schemes of the devil. 12For zwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against aathe rulers, against the authorities, against abthe cosmic powers over acthis present darkness, against adthe spiritual forces of evil aein the heavenly places. 13Therefore aftake up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in agthe evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, ahhaving fastened on the belt of truth, and aihaving put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and, ajas shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up akthe shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all althe flaming darts of amthe evil one; 17and take anthe helmet of salvation, and aothe sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying apat all times aqin the Spirit, arwith all prayer and supplication.
