(Far Side comic: In the picture we see a dr. looking out the window of a tall building at a booth hung out of it by a metal arm. A man is locked inside with lots of snakes and yelling as he looks out the window of the booth. It says “Professor Gallaher and his controversial technique of simultaneously confronting the fear of heights, snakes, and the dark.” This is one that you have to see to really appreciate.)

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” II Timothy 1:7
“So that we may boldy say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:6
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” I John 4:18

=====
Fact: when I was younger I used to be afraid of many things including the dark, dogs (I got bit in the cheek as a child and needed stiches), bath robes (don’t laugh!), embarrassing myself, and talking to people, especially girls. Thanks to God’s help, I have overcome many of those fears. My family owns a big collie dog, I’m not as afraid of the dark, and I’m much less shy in public. I still need to overcome my fear of the future, failure, and not reaching my dreams, but God won’t give up on me or you. There is no fear in love.
