12 Verses to replace Fear with Faith, Courage, & Peace

Did you know that there are 365 verses in the Bible about fear? A verse for EVERY SINGLE day of the year! Nothing surprises God. He knew that every single day of our lives, we’d have something to fear. So, he gave us a Scripture for every day to combat our fears.

I’ve created a list of 12 verses for you. 12 of my favorites. One for each MONTH of the year.

Print this off, cut them apart and put them around your house – on your bathroom mirror, in your car, by the kitchen sink…and work on memorizing one each month of the year. Memorize each verse with your kids!

Allow these powerful Scriptures to replace your FEAR with FAITH!

1. Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

2. Psalm 118:6

The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.

3. Isaiah 41:10

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
    Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
    I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. NLT

4. Joshua 1:9

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

5. Psalm 23:4

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.

12. Psalm 91:15

He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

(I recommend reading – and even MEMORIZING – all of Psalm 91!)

Also – read Romans 8.

I could go on and on with verses and chapters because the bottom line is that …

Scripture BUILDS your faith, while simultaneously reducing your FEAR!

There is always something to fear – God knew this. Way before we were born and had our first fear, He created a path for PEACE and courage.

Focus on Him and His word and not on the trouble, and allow Him to replace your fear with faith!
