So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
—Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Human dread of loneliness, loss, catastrophe or suffering is just the anxiety of our experience of separation from God.

"Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

Jesus told his disciples not to be afraid, and calmed them when they panicked at his majesty.

That’s situational.

When people say they fear God, that is a broader, almost existential, stance on God. Like because of God’s existence they have something to continually fear.

It’s a good thing.
