Danica McKellar told Fox News Digital "faith guides everything" in her life, including her parenting.

The most repeated command in the Bible is some version of "fear not!" It sounds great in theory, but let’s be honest, how can God expect us to not live in fear when everything around us feels so out-of-control? Hurricane devastation. Israel under attack. Election rage. Port strikes. Record rates of depression and anxiety. Lord have mercy.

In Isaiah 40:11, God commands, "Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you." (MSG Bible translation)

When God commands something, such as fear not, we can count on three things: It’s for good reason, it’s for our good, and it brings Him glory.

God says there is no need to fear, not because everything is fine, but because "I’m your God." (Fox News Photo/Joshua Comins)

In Isaiah 40:11, God is speaking specifically to Israel who is aware of all the danger around her, and it is only through God’s promise of His presence that fear loses its paralyzing power........
