‘Don’t be afraid!
We are twice told in the story of the birth of Jesus by Angels not to be afraid. It is a natural thing for humans to be afraid, when something happens that we do not understand. Joseph was perplexed, confused, when he found his wife to be Mary pregnant. Matthew 1:20. The Shepherds out in the fields were startled by the appearance of Angels in the middle of the night. Luke 2:8-20.
But look at the contrast here to the paranoid king Herod, what did he do with his fear? Matthew 1:16-18, Jeremiah 31:15.

The Cure.
Faith cannot be measured, we can only pass comment or judge by what we see in another. But God is the only one who can see the heart and the conditions, the motives within us all. Hebrews 4:12-14, Psalm 33:13-17.
Humanity has inherited Sin and failure and there are so many bad aspects within those categories, that science can neither detect, identify or remove. But God has provided us with a way out, a way to see ourselves as we really are and rely upon Him to help us. John 3:15-17, Luke 4:18, Revelation 1:5.
