Fear is the anticipation of bad things happening. Fear is born in our minds and thoughts. Fear robs us. Fear doesn't mean the thing we fear will ever happen. And fear can be brought on by a false report of bad news that isn't true. Yet, just the thought of something bad happening can put us into a panic and even paranoia.
Some fears are based on past experiences, out of legitimate concerns. But how you handle those fears is important. Do you let them rob you of faith and peace and joy? Or do you handle them with prayer and bring them to your Father who is looking after you? Do you trust God?
When fear knocks at your door, don't let it in. Immediately take it to your Father and ask Him for help. Ask Him to help you to trust Him, to not let fear rule in your heart, to seek his wisdom in your situations.
"The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed,
and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom;"
2 Tim 4:18
"You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day"
Psalm 91:5
