Understanding the Fear of God
The fear of God is not about being scared or afraid, but rather about standing in awe of Him and esteeming Him above everything and everyone else. It is a reverence and respect that draws us closer to God and allows us to take on His heart. Increasing the awe of God can be done through prayer, asking God to fill us with the Holy Spirit and baptize us in the fear of God. It can also be taught through studying the Scriptures and meditating on verses that relate to trembling and the fear of the Lord.
