Do not fear.....
.for I have overcome the world...  which world? sin, and death....?  Fear not, ... fear not... these are comforting words from the Lord who has overcome the world through his Passion, Death and Resurrection. It was love which made him undergo all that he suffered for the sake of fallen humanity. His bitter agony, the unjust trial, the scourging, crowning with thorns, the mockery, denials, dehumanization - were the extra miles the Lord went to reveal the Father's unconditional love and his obedience till the end. Time does not heal, it's love that heals and with love he overcame.
Fear not, listen to his cry calling out to you by name.... Can you not hear his call? be still and contemplate his Passion and ask for the grace to hear and understand his love and faithfulness.
All that He desires is that we turn to Him in repentance so that the Father can heal us through the Wounds of His Beloved Son Jesus Christ for by His stripes we have been healed............

St. Paul also reassures us that we can conquer trials overwhelmingly through him who loved us as he is convinced that neither death, nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth nor any creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

However there is one thing we must fear, be afraid of the one who after killing the body has the power to cast it into hell. Therefore take courage do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more....  A disease may kill the body but not the soul........
No human power can destroy what makes up our true worth. It can only put an end to our earthly life. God has power over body and soul. He alone can deliver the whole human person to hell or call him to blessedness. God is by our side.... we need not be afraid. If God is for us who can be against us......?
