As children of God, we have fears and worries about many things, which often makes us feel sad and hopeless from time to time, and Strong fears may appear at different times during our trial moments and while building our faith and trust in God.
For example, we are often very distressed when faced with specific difficulties, even when God has promised to deliver us from all circumstances, as written in his words.
Although fears and worries are typical in children, the same applies to us as Christians.
Persistent or extreme forms of fear and sadness could be due to anxiety or depression because if we as Christians don’t outgrow the fears and worries typical in young children, we will never receive what we seek from God’s hands.
The Bible has made us understand that a wavering heart cannot get anything from God and the punishment associated with fear of hell fire.
