Afraid for people I love

Neighbor

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3–5 · World English Bible

Comfort in affliction is not only for you. It trains you to comfort others in any affliction. Fear for your own can open a door toward people whose names you do not know yet — or it can close every door but yours.

How could the fear you have for your people make you gentler with someone outside your house?

Courage

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Hebrews 13:6 · World English Bible

The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what people can do. People can do a great deal. The sentence does not deny that. It relocates the last word.

What is the difference, in your case, between watching over someone and trying to own their safety?
