Some claim it is a natural survival mechanism of protection – often known as “fight or flight.” However, there is a more basic explanation for what we call “fear.”
Thank you! After reading, I did a word search of "fear" in the Bible. It rapidly became clear that the influence of one's "...fear of the Lord..." should exceed the influence of any other fear we might have (See Exodus 1:16-21 for example). King David was well experienced with fear as he mentions in Psalms 55 - see verses 4 and 5. This is a good Psalms to consider when struggling with fearful circumstances. David shows us how he dealt with this challenge.

The pictorial Hebrew definition for "fear" is - "yielding to a power source." Thus, your comment is relative and powerful.
