The Fear of God is the life-giving awareness that God is greater than all and that the greatest consideration in life must be to seek His blessing and avoid His judgement.

Before we can ever worry we have to first doubt God’s love.
The way to overcome fear is to come into a greater experience of God’s love.
Matthew 6:31-32 NASB1995
Fear blocks us from fully obeying and so keeps us from growing spiritually.
All fear is rooted in a lack of trust in God’s love and faithfulness.

And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’

Jesus is the antidote to fear - to overcome fear you must become full of Jesus.
