So How Many Times is Fear Not Actually in the Bible?

I was so intrigued when I saw this photo BELOW (and similar ones) going around facebook. I thought, “Wow! How awesome is that!”

After a few months of thinking about this from time to time, I had a great idea to do a printable using all 365 scripture references that deal with “fear not”. I went to my concordance to get the scripture references, and do you know what I found?

• The phrase in the intended context is only used 80+ times
  
• The phrase “fear not” in used in other contexts, but you wouldn’t want them to apply to you
  
• Other word pairings that would be equal to “fear not” (“do not be afraid”, “do not fear”, “be not afraid”) is used 30+ times
  

While it’s a great idea to think that God comforted us with “Fear not” 365 times, it’s simply just not true.

However, hopefully we are at that point in our Christian walk that we don’t need to hear God say something 365 times. Once should be enough.

But I was not deterred. I pressed on with my printable. (Two color selections)
