When the consciousness is kept on God, you will have no fears; every obstacle will then be overcome by courage and faith. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Every night, before you sleep, affirm: “The Heavenly Father is with me; I am protected.” Mentally surround yourself with Spirit and His cosmic energy. Chant “Aum” three times, or the word “God.” That will shield you. You will feel His wonderful protection. Be fearless. That is the only way to be healthy. If you commune with God His truth will flow to you. You will know that you are the imperishable soul. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Meditate until you become calm; then put your mind on your problem and pray deeply for God’s help. Concentrate on the problem and you will find a solution without going through the terrible strain of worry. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

No matter how busy we are, we should now and then free our minds completely from all worries and duties. They should simply be dismissed from the mind. We were not made for them; they were made by us. We should not allow them to torture us. When beset by overwhelming mental trials or worries you should try to fall asleep or, better still, enter into deep meditation. If you can do that you will find upon awakening, or upon concluding your meditation, that the mental tension has been relieved and that the worry has loosened its grip. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Whenever you feel afraid, put your hand over your heart, next to the skin; rub from left to right, and say, “Father, I am free. Tune out this fear from my heart-radio.” Just as you tune out static on an ordinary radio, so if you continuously rub the heart from left to right, and continuously concentrate on the thought that you want to tune out fear from your heart, it will go; and the joy of God will be perceived. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Fearlessness is the impregnable rock on which the house of spiritual life must be erected. Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in His protection, His justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, His omnipresence. - Paramahansa Yogananda.

Never allow fear to produce mental inertia, paralysis, or despondency; instead, let it spur you on to calm, cautious activity, avoiding equally rashness and timidity. “Look fear in the face and it will cease to trouble you,” my Guru [Swami Sri Yukteswar] wisely counseled. - Paramahansa Yogananda.
