Worry cannot exist without fear. We can fear things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can happen. Fear hath torment, according to 1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection].
Anyone who has experienced fear can say a loud Amen to this statement. Fear definitely is a torment!
Having revelation on God's love for us and placed our faith in that love is the only antidote for fear. We can relax and live free from worry and fear when we know that God is good and that He loves us unconditionally, which means there are never a day not even a moment when God does not live us. Knowing this helps us feel better about ourselves, and it also delivers us from tormenting negative emotions such as worry and fear.
God is on our side, and no matter what happens, He has promised never to leave us or forsake us. He said
The Bible. 1 John 4:18
[18]There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection].
God loves you, and you can live without fear because He does. He has promised to take care of you, to meet your legitimate needs. I am not promising you that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us. He promises in Luke 11 that if we ask for bread, He will not give is stone, likewise, if we ask for stone, He will not give us a stone when what we need is bread. God will always do what is best for us, and we need to trust that. That kind of faith leads us into lives of peace that passes understanding.
GOD BLESS

Fear and faith are opposites, faith comes from the righteous God, and fear comes from the fallen serpent.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
