I ran across this saying and how true it is.  

 

"We fear men so much because we fear God so little.  One fear cures another."

 

We need a healthy fear of our Lord.  When this happens, our fear of people goes down because a healthy fear of God helps us to learn who is in control and who does have the real power to help us in every situation.  Man is so limited.  Man can kill the body, but it's the Lord who makes the judgment on our soul - Heaven or hell.  Since Jesus died on the cross for our sin, we can go to Him for that forgiveness that is needed that puts our fears in the right prospective.
