The Psalmist reveals to us understandable fears, these fears are different from irrational fears. Irrational fears are there when there is no reason to fear, they can be in our lives for too many reasons to be listed here. The Bible tells us that "fear torments us" and I think that irrational fears certainly do that. Understandable fears make us cautious, and yet able to Believe the many promises of God's Word that help us to overcome them (here are just a few of these promises):
1 John 4:18. In Love there is no fear.
Psalm 34:4. I sought the Lord, He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.
