Bible Verses About Fear and Courage

Fear and courage often appear together in the Bible. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to keep walking with God despite fear.

What the Bible says

  1. Scripture
    Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee.
    Deuteronomy 31:6

    Biblical courage is connected to God going with you. You are not asked to face everything alone.

  2. Scripture
    Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
    Psalm 31:24

    Courage grows when the heart is strengthened by hope in God.

  3. Scripture
    Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
    John 14:27

    Jesus offers peace that does not depend on everything around you being calm.

A grounded way to understand this

The Bible does not shame people for fear. It gives courage by reminding them that God’s presence is stronger than what they face.
