"Fear: not that which comes from believing in God, but from doubting whether or not he exists. The right fear comes from faith, false fear from doubt;
the right fear is linked with hope, because it is born of faith and one hopes in the God in whom one believes;
the wrong fear is linked with despair, because one fears the God in whom one has not put one's faith. Some fear to lose him, others to find him."
Pascal - p293
Good point.
