What are we afraid of?

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge.

We are afraid of people finding out who we really are.
We are afraid of failure.
We are afraid of the unknown.
We are afraid of saying the wrong thing.
We are afraid of the dark.
We are afraid of spiders.
We are afraid of people making fun of us.
We are afraid of death.

But are we afraid of the Lion of Judah?

Do we want God to be safe, rather than be God?
