I was struck not with just fear, but terror these past couple of weeks. So the timing of this thread is, in my case, interesting. All I know is, if God doesn't want me fearful, I won't be.

I agree Bob, but if it's one of your children fighting for their very life it's next to impossible not to worry.

We live in a small city in North Texas - it’s Hot in the summer but very reasonable the rest of the year. People are friendly . Cost of housing is much less than a big city .

Hi folks,

I cannot say that I am no longer afraid at times.

However several years ago God gave me the understanding that God is micro-managing everything. It is all scripted to work out exactly as God planned from the beginning.
=
God leaves nothing to chance.
God does not see into the future to learn what will happen.
God causes everything to happen according to His pleasure.
So Paul's admonition to not worry about what I cannot change was God's gift to me.

This is the same question asked on the website Quora . But yes ,as Ralph said there
are many variations.

As for “ don’t be afraid “ there are 48 verses.

Apparently it is the most repeated command in all the Bible with all of the different
variations.

“ and perhaps the easiest to fail” ( paraphrasing a commenter)


Paul says,” don’t worry about anything “
Have any of you reached that far yet?or at least feeling confident and content?

That looks like the NIV translation. I couldn't find that exact phrase 365 times in scripture, but when you take into account variations of it like: "Neither let them be afraid", "Fear not", "I will not fear", "Let not your hearts be troubled", etc., then yes, it's repeated quite a bit.

I found this on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dollsrealway/video/7384349118254140702?

Probably not the King James but do you think it's true?

Sending prayers for you and your family Matty 😇

God bless

UPDATE:

So last week one of the 2 cases that were opened against me were dismissed by the court. There is one more pending and I ask that you continue to pray with me. My kids were also finally accepted into a different, promising school. Thank you all for offering what no amount of money can buy, fervent prayers to our Father.

I'm also asking that you please stand with me in prayer for return to full time employment. I need nothing short of a miracle after years of applying and praying.

May the good Lord continue to be with you all and meet your needs too.

With grace and gratitude,
Matty

You are in my prayers Matty.  God be with you and bless you. Much love.
