Fear
Fear in Scripture appears both as godly reverence (the fear of the LORD) and as the dread that paralyses obedience. The prophets, apostles, and disciples are repeatedly told "fear not" — not because the threats are imagined, but because the presence of God redefines them. Scripture directs fear away from creatures and toward the One before whom all creatures stand.
Anxiety
Anxiety in Scripture is the restless worry that gathers to itself tomorrow's troubles. Jesus addresses it in the Sermon on the Mount; Paul prescribes the replacement (prayer + thanksgiving) in Philippians 4; the Psalms record the sleepless night as a fact of the life of faith. Scripture treats anxiety seriously and offers a transfer of weight, not a dismissal of it.
Restoration
Restoration in Scripture is the undoing of Eden's loss — bringing back what was broken, raising what was dead, returning what was exiled. Joel 2:25 promises "the years that the locust hath eaten" restored; John 21 shows Peter restored by the risen Christ beside another charcoal fire; Revelation 21 ends where Genesis began — a garden, a river, a tree — but with nations walking in the light of the Lamb.
Shame
Shame in Scripture is the experience of exposure and unworthiness that drives hiding — from Adam and Eve in the garden to Peter after the denial. The Bible names shame honestly and offers covering that goes beyond fig leaves: the robe of righteousness, the restoration of Peter by the charcoal fire, the word to the woman caught ("neither do I condemn thee"). Shame is answered not by minimising the wrong but by the God who draws near.
