Fear is an appropriate response to living in the world. The Bible says “fear not” so often because there are so many things that frighten. You can’t hide from fear, and confronting it is not always a good idea.
Don't just commit your fears to the Lord, commit yourself to Him. There’s a difference. As much as you may detest the fear that oppresses you, it has been grafted into your spirit; and thus for all practical purposes is a part of you. It follows you to all hiding places but one; the Lord's Arms offer the only refuge where fear cannot follow.
Yes, He is always with you, but you are not always with Him; and this fact allows fear to remain. Abide in Him.
