Why are you Afraid?


When you tell someone, “Don’t be afraid,” you are saying, “There is reason to be afraid, but be strong, and don’t let yourself fall into panic and fear.” 

But when you ask someone, “Why are you afraid?” you are saying there is nothing to fear.

Dovid HaMelech says (Tehillim 27:1) “Hashem is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Hashem is my life’s strength; whom shall I dread?”

He said this as a question because there is absolutely no reason to be afraid. There is nothing to fear because we are in Hashem’s caring hands, and everything is from Him.
