When I search the word fear on Bible Gateway I get 336 passages pertaining to fear. That’s almost a fear per day for an entire year.

Reading this verse, what phrase jumps at you? For me it’s, “What can man do to me?”  In the past my response to this question was, “PLENTY!” Never feeling like I had control, I felt I existed for everyone else’s tortured enjoyment.
