Bible Gems: Scripture Verses on God’s Mercy and Overcoming Fear by Donald Calloway, MIC

Perfect love casts out fear, and God is love (see 1 Jn 4:16-19). So let us allow His Word to find a home in our hearts each day with these 366 Scriptural exhortations to fear not, as we journey through the books of the Bible using verses drawn from the Divine Mercy Catholic Bible (Revised Standard Version—Catholic Edition 2).

What the world needs right now is the assurance that God has a plan and is trustworthy, even when everything around us seems to be falling apart. By living a Divine Mercy spirituality of trust, we do not have to be afraid of the evil times in which we live. “Do not be afraid,” perhaps the most well-known phrase of the pontificate of St. Pope John Paul II, comes across very strongly in these daily reflections. It is a message that is timeless and brings comfort to the heart.
