In a quick search of the topical guide, I found 36 different scriptures telling us to fear not or be not afraid. Some of my personal favorites:
Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
2Kings 6:16: Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
2Chronichles 20:15: Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
D&C 6:34: Therefore, fear not little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail.
D&C 50:41-42: Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me; And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost.
D&C 68:6: Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.
A couple of these weren't even in the Topical Guide listing, so there are even more than I counted. Share some of your favorites in the comments if you want.
Next time ... "be of good cheer!"

thanks for the great post.
Thanks! Those are always wonderful scriptures to read!!
Thank you so much for sharing that. I really needed to be reminded of that strength. We are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives.
My personal favorite wasn't listed. 2 Timothy 1:7 "For the Lord hath not given us the spirit of fear.."
I also find great comfort in Isaiah 41 and John 14.
2 Chronicles isn't one you hear a lot and I was glad to be reminded that the battle is God's. It's so easy to let fear of the future overtake me personally. I am so grateful for the constant reminders found in the scriptures and given by the prophets that we need not be afraid. I need them! Being afraid is a great weakness of mine! Thank heaven for the reminders!
Are you afraid today? I am. I'm afraid that if my baby spits up on me one more time I may scream!
Love you! Thanks for the inspiration. You really are Angelicious!
