Jeremiah 1:6-8
Then said I:
"Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth."
But the Lord said to me:
"Do not say, 'I am a youth,'
For you shall go to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you," says the Lord.
Fear is normal, common. But the choice to act out of fear, or out of faith is the choice only we can make. Moses told God he could lead the people because of a speech impediment; Esther was afraid to go before the king until Mordechi reminded her of her duty to her people, Peter was afraid to acknowledge Jesus. We have all kinds of examples - but the Same faithful God led them all through their fears and sustained them.
