Medo
O medo é uma das emoções mais paralisantes. Mas a Bíblia repete mais de 300 vezes: 'Não temas.' O perfeito amor lança fora o medo, porque Deus está conosco.
O antídoto contra o medo
No amor não existe medo; o perfeito amor lança fora o medo. O medo tem a ver com castigo, mas quem ama está em Deus.
Deus é refúgio
O Senhor é a minha luz e minha salvação — de quem terei medo? Ele é fortaleza da minha vida — de quem me recearei?
Confiar e não temer
Quando o medo chegar, confie em Deus. O Senhor é escudo e refúgio — Ele acalma tempestades e silencia todo medo.
Não temas — Eu estou contigo
Deus repete: não temas, porque eu sou contigo. Ele segura nossa mão direita e nos fortalece em cada situação de medo.
Paz que vence o medo
A paz de Cristo e a confiança no Pai celestial dissipam todo temor. Jesus disse: não se turbe o vosso coração, nem se atemorize.
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; it is not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; it is not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
"Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me. person plural between Indicative and Imperative, and since that form occurs in both clauses here, there are four possibilities—Ind. Ind., Ind. Imp., Imp. Ind., Imp. Imp. The choice is up to the translator, which is why you will find differences among the versions at this point. We have already been told, in John 6:64, that Jesus knew who did not believe; it follows that He also knew who did. He knew that the eleven believed, so it seems more likely to me that He spoke in the Indicative. He is appealing to them to be consistent with their belief.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition along with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, that surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear the One who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father’s will. Why even the hairs of your head are all numbered! Therefore do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Coragem e segurança
O Senhor é meu pastor, nada me faltará. Mesmo no vale da sombra da morte, não temerei mal algum, porque Tu estás comigo.
