Fear

"And the Lord said to Joshua, Do not fear and do not be dismayed."
Joshua 8:1

One very common command in the bible is "do not fear." Especially in the Old Testament, the literal translation of "fear" means "to run." Take this into consideration - God may not be asking you to not "feel" afraid, but what He may be asking you is to not run from what He's placed in your path.
