"Do not fear" appears 365 times in Scripture: one for every day

The post gathers Scripture verses and words of Saint Eumenios Saridakis on the command "Do not fear." It opens with Matthew 28:20, where Christ promises to be with us all the days until the end of the age, and links this to the name Emmanuel, which means "God with us." The author notes that if we count which command appears most often in the Bible, it is "Do not fear," written 365 times, one for each day.

The suggested practice is to begin the day with prayer, entrust it to the Creator, and say: I endured today; tomorrow belongs to God. A passage in the voice of Christ tells the believer who calls God Father, Creator, Governor and God to invest only in His presence and to live without insecurity and anxiety, keeping the basic command: "Believe and do not fear."

A prayer follows, asking Christ to make the soul love Him more each day, never be filled with His love, be unable to live without it, and never see that love end. The closing words of Saint Eumenios Saridakis call us to love God so much that we never tire of loving Him and fear nothing. The post ends with Luke 12:32, "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom," given in Greek with a modern Greek explanation that the little flock is small compared to the multitude of the unfaithful, yet the Father was pleased to give them the kingdom of heaven.

It closes with the doxology, Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
