Prov 29:25 "The fear of man bringeth a snare, but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe." The New Living Translation states the verse: "Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety." So, what causes people to be afraid of other people? Something that has happened or might happen, or it could be an overwhelming concern over what others think of you—fearing someone for any reason causes entrapment, your trap, not theirs. The remedy for anxiety is putting our confidence in the Lord, where we find safety.
Sovereign God is Lord
over your past and future, don't let them imprison you. Pretending to be something
you're not to please others will only add to your distress. Instead, please God
by obeying what He says; He knows your heart and loves you unconditionally. You
can rest safely in God's care by trusting Him: "Commit thy works unto the
Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established" (Prov 16:3).
