Don't Be Afraid!
הִנֵּה֙ אֲנִ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה אֱלֹהֵ֖י כׇּל־בָּשָׂ֑ר הֲֽמִמֶּ֔נִּי יִפָּלֵ֖א כׇּל־דָּבָֽר׃
“Behold I am the L-RD, the G-d of all flesh. Is anything too wondrous for Me?
He is the L-rd over all flesh.
Of all people, there is no one we need to fear when we have the L-rd on our side.
Of all animals, there is no animal that we need to fear, because if we have the L-rd on our side, it will not attack us.
He is not "only" the L-rd over all flesh, but over all.
We don't have to worry about natural disasters or other miseries that may hit us. No matter how frightening or impossible a situation may seem, nothing is impossible for the L-rd. When we take shelter under His wings, we may place our full trust in Him, that everything we find frightening, He uses for our good.
