Overcoming Fear
Strong’s Concordance: agōnía. It is used to refer to the trembling excitement and anxiety produced by fear or tension before a wrestling match or a fight. In the New Testament, it is used denoting not the fear which draws back and flees, but the fear which trembles in the face of the issue, yet continues on to the end.
