But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.”

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass.

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

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
