2. 2 Timothy 1:7:Β "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."
3. Psalm 23:4:Β "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
4. Philippians 4:6-7:Β "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
