Fear touches every life—whether it’s uncertainty about the future, the weight of daily anxieties, or moments that leave us feeling overwhelmed. In these times, Scripture speaks directly to our hearts. All over the world, people are turning to BeadBible, not just to read verses, but to reflect deeply, pray earnestly, and walk more closely with God. It’s in this shared rhythm of faith that we discover we are not alone. Today, we’ll look at timeless verses from the King James Bible that speak peace into fear and remind us that God is ever near.

1. Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.”

This verse is God’s direct reassurance. When we feel shaken, He promises strength, help, and a steady hand. His presence turns fear into faith.

2. Psalm 56:3 (KJV)

“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

Fear is met with faith here. The psalmist acknowledges fear but turns immediately to trust. It’s a short but powerful reminder to redirect our focus.

3. 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Fear is not from God—He gives us courage, love, and clarity. This verse challenges us to reject fear and embrace divine confidence.

4. Joshua 1:9 (KJV)

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

When stepping into the unknown, God’s constant presence empowers us. This verse encourages boldness, not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

5. Psalm 23:4 (KJV)

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

Even in our darkest moments, God is our shepherd. His guidance and protection remove the power of fear.

6. John 14:27 (KJV)

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Jesus offers a peace that’s deeper than worldly calm. It steadies the heart and casts out fear entirely.

7. Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)

“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;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

God’s unwavering commitment to us is the reason we can be courageous. We’re never alone in our fears.
