"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" 2 Timothy 1:7.
If fear has come your way, I want to ask you, has God sent it your way? Nope. He never does. He has no fear in his arsenal. It is not part of His nature. He is not afraid of anything and does not share fear with anybody. In this time of massive panic, it is important to fill our minds with the thoughts that are inspired by the word of God. It is a fact that what you focus on becomes greater. If you focus on all the news and facts coming from the current situation, you will be filled with fear. If you turn away from that and start looking at God's promises you will be encouraged, and filled with peace. Do you know that the phrase "Fear not" is used 365 times in the Bible. Some say, even 366. One for every day, and one is for the future, when the leap year comes. So, God has no intention of scaring you. He wants to take away your fear and give you love, peace, and joy. During these days of global quarantine, we have to look at the word of God daily and rest our minds on his promises. This will push away fear. FEAR NOT.

When you are in the darkest valley
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;" Psalms 23:4.
On what base we should not be afraid? What is that logical argument to be fearless? I mean, there are all logical reasons to be afraid if you are going through the darkest valley. The main question is: are you walking alone? If yes, you have all the reasons to be afraid. If not, who are you walking with? Is it some fellow human? That might give you some extra courage, but it will fade away at the smallest challenge you face along the way. The only reliable companion on your walk that will cause you to feel safe is our God. If He is with you, you have no reason to fear. He can calm down any storm on your way, shine as the brightest light in your darkest valley, and even carry you on His hands if you cannot continue walking. Is He with you? If Jesus is your Lord, yes, He is. Praise God.

Peace of God
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1.
Justification through faith brings about a lot of changes into our lives. One of them, we get peace with God. People live in fear, anxiety, worry, and similar emotional states daily. But we don't have to. We can have peace of God in our minds and souls. If you are right with God, there is nothing that separates you from Him and His love. All of your sins have been blotted out, washed away and you can boldly come to the throne of God, and ask Him anything you want. He is your father now. He is not angry with you. Jesus took any anger He had due to sin upon Himself and brought it to the cross. The judgement of God was poured out there. On Him. You have nothing to be afraid of, but can live in God's peace. You are not an enemy of God, but His son/daughter. Embrace it. Believe it. Thank God for it. Think about it. Let it sink in deep into your soul. He is for you, not against you. The world can be full of stress, you have God on your side, you have nothing to fear. Pray for His peace to descend upon you and enjoy it when it comes. Meditate on justification that you got in Christ Jesus. Nothing can take you out of His hands now. You are His and He is yours. It is a love relationship. Develop it. Stay in God's peace. Peace be with you.
