Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grown. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you – you of little faith? So do not worry, saying “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness , and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

58 COMMENTS

  1. There 141 in this list. Is it because in some verses the phrase “fear not” or “do not be afraid” or some other form is repeated?

      • Instead of trying to indicate, that there are 365 ‘separate verses’ that say ‘fear not’; when you admitted, that you know there aren’t that many.

        Shouldn’t the title of this article be corrected, to say, “A list of 365 places, where the Bible says, ‘feat not’?

    • Do you have a Bible??? Okay f not get one. It is YOUR responsibility to look them up for yourself. Time to stop being spoon fed by others and take the spoon into your own hand. Seek Him, is an action verb, do it and watch what happens.

      • This is not a very helpful or positive thing to say. Looking online is a helpful tool for studying the Bible.
        “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” Rom 15:4
        We cannot learn on our own. It would be arrogant to take that responsibility upon yourself.
        “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;” Prov 3:5.
        We have each other to give us ideas and debate and learn from.
        “Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?” 1 Cor 4:6-7

      • Wow! Your name should be stopping faith not contending. You would be the reason someone stops reading the Bible. Repent for causing a young one to stumble.

      • I’m shocked, Wow! Your name should be stopping faith not contending. You would be the reason someone stops reading the Bible. Repent for causing a young one to stumble.

  2. The idea of this kind of list seems great, and I appreciate the effort. There are many great passages in here that address fear, and so this compilation definitely has value.

    But I wonder, like Gabriel Rivera, if it really adds up. Thanks for trying, anyway. Please bear with my concerns: First you say it is a list of 365 verses, which it is clearly not, in the sense of being either 365 verses or passages. It would have been nice of you to say that up front, to avoid confusion, and to explain your logic.

    Another problem with this list is that some instances are not God speaking, but somebody else telling somebody not to fear. This can still be encouraging, but there are enough passages in here that make me wonder. E.g. Joseph telling his brothers not to be afraid when he is in fact testing them. Or Jael falsely reassuring Sisera. It is unclear to me how this is supposed to encourage the believer today (these passages still do have value for discussing fear, but it wasn’t what I was expecting to find in such a list). Or 1 Sam. 28:13, where Saul, in clear disobedience to the Lord, tells the witch of Endor not to be afraid as she acts as a medium. Or Mal. 3:5, where those who “do not fear” the Lord will be put on trial.

    Another point I have observed is that some verses are fear-related, but it is more indirect than literally saying “do not fear.” This poses the question, how far can we take this? There are probably lots of Bible verses that somehow indirectly also have a connection to fear, or cast fear in a bad light (e.g. narrative that shows us a character getting into a bad situation because of fear).

    I also ran a survey to check this list to see if I could find 365 “do not fear” references in it. It is probably not perfect, but here is what I found (below). I have only included variations of the message “do not be afraid,” omitting more general references to fear (e.g. “no one will make you afraid,” since this is a more general promise, not an exhortation not to fear). I do not feel references to “peace” belong in the list either, since in the Hebrew, this is a wider concept of blessing and wellbeing than just a reference to the absence of fear. I would also count a phrase like “do not be afraid or discouraged” as one instance, not two, since it conveys one point rather than being two separate “passages” about not having fear.

    Anyway, I would like to thank you for giving me a tool to study this topic and stimulate my own research. I hope these comments will serve to constructively inform the topic, Gabriel Rivera’s concern, and perhaps lead to an edit of the article above, or some kind of response. Many blessings.

  3. Wow This is Great, I will Not be Afraid , I will Have Faith, Faith Conquers fear , F; false E; expectation A; Attacking R; Reality….

    I HAVE NO ROOM FOR FEAR

  4. It sincerely bothers me, greatly, when so many quote 365 verses about do not fear. Most of them simply say do not fear man or this world. Thank you for another proof that it does not say it 365 times. Fear is one of the most powerful emotions that affect us daily. A gun pointed at your head will cause you to obey the gun holder. All men are controlled by their fear. The Bible much more importantly says Fear the Lord, it’s the beginning of wisdom, fear God, fear the lord. Fear God is 140+ times in Gods word. I challenge and encourage all to get a “Strongs concordance” and find them all. Fear of the Lord will guide all your decisions.

    • I don’t want to hurt your feelings or insult you, but that fact that God told us certain things over and over in many different ways tends to tell us this was very important to God to make us understand. Matthew 6:25 alone makes it pretty clear God doesn’t want us to worry, be afraid, be troubled, be alarmed, etc. about anything and we wouldn’t if we have faith. There are over 100 synonyms for ‘worry’. Of course ‘Fear the Lord’ is extremely important but no one was talking about fearing the Lord, they’re plainly talking about how many times God told us not to do this. He also told us many times in many ways to seek Him and we will find Him. He also taught us over and over in many ways about the sanctity of human life:
      1. God created us with the ‘Breath of Life’ (Genesis 2:7)
      2. His Word instructs us in the ‘Way of Life (Proverbs 10:17)
      3. He is the ‘Author of Life’ (Acts 3:15)
      4. When we get saved we walk in ‘Newness of Life’ (Romans 6:4)
      5. He is the ‘Sustainer of Life’ (Hebrews 1:3)
      6. He is the ‘Word of Life’ (1 John 1:1)
      7. We will be given the ‘Crown of Life’ (Revelation 2:10)
      8. Our names are written in the ‘Book of Life’ (Revelation 3:5)
      9. We will eat from the ‘Tree of Life’ (Revelation 22:14)
      10. We will drink from the ‘Water of Life’ (Revelation 22:17)
      (notice it’s all in chronological order from creation through Revelation.

      You make it sound like you decide whether what His Word says is important or not. Everything He tells us is important. He doesn’t want us to worry about anything.

      And you seem to be a little confused of the meaning of ‘fear’ in regard to God:

      Fearing the Lord means having a deep respect, reverence and awe for God’s power and authority. Rather than causing someone to be afraid of God, a proper “fear of the Lord” leads one to love Him. Fearing the Lord is not the same meaning as fearing heights, worrying about your weight, troubled about world affairs, alarmed about the rise in crime, anxious about the nursing exam, terrified of water, etc. Fear of Lord is a completely different subject than what was brought up. And a FYI: These days you can just go to your browser and ask what does the bible say about——-(any subject) and you will find a list of verses that refer to it.

      • The Greek and Hebrew word of fear also means Revere or honor. So it depends on your translation whether you want to be frightened or honor and revere.

      • The Greek and Hebrew word of fear also means Revere or honor. So it depends on your translation whether you want to be frightened or honor and revere.

        Hebrew – Strong’s 3372: To fear, to revere, caus, to frighten

        Greek – Strong’s 5401: (a) fear, terror, alarm, (b) the object or cause of fear, (c) reverence, respect. From a primary phebomai; alarm or fright.

    • This was a goofy comment. I have had a gun pointed at my head three times, and it did not make me do what the moron with the gun said. I didn’t. My trust was in God, and that whether I am here or shot dead I am with Christ. Yes, people use fear to try and control people, that’s why Scripture tells us that Jesus set free those who all their lives had been bound by their fear of death. History is full of Christians who choose death over the silly threats of men. Many do allow fear to control them, that is why it is pretty darn cool that God made sure to include a “Fear Not” for every day of the year. The OP didn’t try to add a practice, a prayer, a ritual concerning this fact, they just pointed out another amazing thing about God’s love for us.

  5. This is AWESOME!!! I have been looking for a list like this forever. I appreciate all the hard you that you put in to make this.

  6. “One for each day of the year” is a nice thought, but not accurate. As others have already pointed out, there are far fewer than 365 verses listed above.
    On the other hand, this list omits over a dozen passages that actually do also say, “Fear Not!”
    For a more complete listing, also including all “Fear the Lord” passages, see http://catholic-resources.org/Bible/HaveNoFear.htm (based on the NRSV translation).

  7. Thanks for clearing that “fear not” in strongs I only found 100, now that you’re saying fear God or the Lord, I’ll go add those to my list, thank you

  8. If God says it once, that’s enough. It’s man that continually needs reassurance. God is not a man that he should lie.
    Take peace in the fact that it’s in the Bible at least once. Be BLESSED

    • Come on… how can you be corrective about this? This is something that gives people great comfort. If my Father said it 365 times then He is a Father who understands His children and knows what we need. I thank Him for saying it so many times. He is a God of comfort and reassurance. He gave us the whole Bible not just one word.

  9. Thank you for helping me with this list. you saved me an incredible amount of time.
    may the LORD continue to bless your hard work and reward your labor of love.

  10. It amazing, no matter what is proven in the Bible people will always come and have something opposite of what the word says. It doesn’t matter what “opinion” or “personal beliefs” we have about fear, God says… FEAR NOT! Not your circumstances, not men, not evil, because HE is always with us, to deliver us and show his salvation!! I don’t know about you but I cast out all my feelings and personal thoughts and follow after Jesus Christ and receive (his) word with gladness, Amen (thank you love the scriptures)

    • Thank you Mini! God gave instructions 2022 is a “Fear Not” Year for 365 and I saw your post because what came with that instructions was to have a bible verse for everyday that has fear not or fear in the verse so I thank God for you. May God bless you and keep you covered and protected in Jesus name.

      • Dear Beloved in Christ, All praise to Lord that you are finding the verses encouraging. I am still working on a verse list that reassures us to fear not each day, that brings out that meaning in the context as well. I am not sure how much I can do as many have mentioned its not there 365 times. The one I mentioned above is a list of verses that can be added to the ones mentioned in the original text above, wanted to round up it to 365 times.

  12. I often have an occasion (because of covid) to tell people that the Bible has “Fear Not” verse for every day of the year. This is so amazing. Thank you!
    So question please. Is there a book form? How can I share it? I’ve tried to forward it but I’m not having any luck.
    Thanks for your help!

  13. PLEASE list ALL 365 references OR make a note that says how many times that phrase appears in each verse.
    The fact that you don’t have ALL 365 is just fuel for doubters and scoffers.

  14. It’s so great I’ve loved the word seriously that’s why revelation 21:8 begins with those who fear as the first group of people who will go into hell , dear Jesus my Lord help me to overcome this bad spirit of fear, say a word it will be on me and I’ll live. For the sake of my grandfather Abraham your servant do a favor for me.

  15. Please update the title of your post to something more honestly descriptive… either give an accurate number or just remove the “365”. It is a myth that there are 365 such verses in the Bible, and there are enough actually true amazing things in the Bible that we don’t have to make things up that God never intended.

    What if hearing that there were 365 instances of “fear not” in the Bible was the final thing that won a particular soul to Christ? If he or she then read the Bible looking for all these verses, and could not find them (and found posts like yours online proving that they couldn’t be found), you might have singlehandedly turned away a new believer just because you wanted to make God look “cool” in a way other than all the ways he already does.

    Thank you, and God bless! 🙂

  16. Setting aside for just a moment the fact that your list of 365 verses contains only 146 verses, why in God’s name is a verse such as 1 Samuel 28:13 included? The witch of Endor should absolutely have been afraid and it was absolutely not God telling her not to be afraid, since what she was afraid of was a sin punishable by immediate execution (calling up a spirit from the dead).

    My last comment was never posted, so I won’t be at all surprised if this comment is also not posted. Either way, God bless, and I pray that all of your readers benefit from the godly content and spit out the heresies. 🙂

    • “Fear” is spoken of over 500 times in the KJV. Furthermore, Expanding the search to look at verses encouraging us to receive God’s peace and strength when we’re worried or anxious would add many, many more “Fear not” Scriptures. This is why we can say that there are more than 365 “Fear nots” in the Bible. Kindly not take it too personal. Peace. Thanks for your comments.

  17. Recently while studying the Gospel of Luke, I did a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance study of just the commands to not be afraid (63), do not dismay (18), do not be distressed (19), do not dread (3), do not tremble (1), do not be in terror (4), do not be troubled (48) and do not fear (123). These did not include fearing God Himself, and were only commands. For example, while I found 24 different Hebrew and Greek words for the word “afraid,” only nine were used as commands. I counted 279 total verses, not 365. But when I added the verses that command us not to fear but TRUST in God (74), the total came to 353. Interestingly, there are 354 days in the lunar calendar year, which would have probably been used before our solar calendar of 365 days. Good study if you like to research! More than that, to follow those commands!

  18. This is really great except I wish i had actually counted the verses myself. I decided to post one everyday on FB. I just realized that I am on day 117 and will not have one to post all 365 days. It is somewhat misleading. Now what do I do?. How to explain to those who may not be Christians that I mislead
    them because I was mislead. ? I know this isn’t life shattering but i hate to think that a non-Christian
    might use this as a false teaching.

  19. Thank you for this. It helped me a lot, I have been a victim of a few Sociopath.
    I will try my best to memorize.

  21. The first time I heard that there was 365 “fear not ” verses in the bible was in my favorite Christian movie “Facing the Giants”. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it’s viewing. It’s about a high school football coach teaching his players the value of giving your very best effort to God in all areas of your life. When I seen this statement about 365 fear not verses it gave me an idea for a calendar. I wanted to make for my wife, because of my coming retirement next year, she worried about how we’ll manage. So I found your list hoping to use it, in making this calendar. Having a verse per day all thru the year. And while it’s probably helping to people to turn their focus from what’s bothering them to God’s love and protection. I was disappointed by your misleading title: 365 fear not verses when you came up well short of that lofty goal of 365 verses with only 146. But in past during my bible reading I’ve notice the greater the number of times God or people in his word (the Bible) speaks about a subject, the greater God feels the importance of the lesson he is trying to teach us. Most children don’t worry about where their next meal is coming from or what clothes they’ll wear. They just go about being children enjoying life. Why because they trust their parents to provide for these things and more. In these 146 verses I believe God is trying to teach us to have that same kind of faith that we have in our earthy parents, in Him. I believe that Jesus once spoke of us needing the faith of a child to get into heaven. Thank you for your time and space. May God bless all who read this with that kind of faith in Him.
