"Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." ~Psalm 62:2, NIV
Jesus said a lot of things about Himself. But the funny thing is that David also said a lot of things about Jesus without ever knowing who He was. God was David's rock, and yet Jesus is now our rock, and His death was our salvation.
Jesus' promises, His ever-present help through the Holy Spirit, it builds a fortress around us within which we cannot be shaken.
In my understanding it's all nice and jolly to say it, but unless you make it true, it has no value for defeating fear. If you choose to run to God with your terrors, and if you choose to ask the Holy Spirit to take away your fear, then you have no fortress.
And that's one of the greatest tools you have. But it all starts with your choice.
