Well seeing that I am still flesh and bone, not fully all spirit, and is prone to all sorts of humanly desires and tendencies, yes i do have fear sometimes.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh
Yes the Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear, but as humans we are incapable of loving perfectly, because this would make us perfect and guiltless of everything. The Bible does say that the law is summed up in love for man and love for God.
Then there is another fear which speaks in regards to reverence and honoring God. This fear i believe is sometimes present within us. The Bible clearly states that,
Ecclesiastes 12:13 " Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. It is that simple! We are to fear the Lord and keep all of His commandments, not just a few of them (John 14:15, 21, 23; 15:10; 1 John 2:3; 5:3).
It is impossible though for us to keep all the commandments and therefore we cannot say that we always fear God but rather that we aspire to. For this reason the Spirit of God was given to us, but we all know that at times we neglect His leading and therefore neglect the fear of God.
God bless You

Fear of what?
Getting stuck in a traffic jam?
Fear of death, heights, ants, bridges what?
You too seem to have a narrow view of what fear is or very young and have not experienced real fear.
Now if you were to say do you want comfort in your fear then I might read/listen.
Think in layers grasshopper.

I am without fear (though I am sometimes anxious), as God hasn't given us the spirit of fear, but of a sound mind.

I have no fear of imaginary gods.
I do fear death, but not enough to pretend it's never going to happen (that's what religion is).

One should never fear that which exists in another's imagination.

i do not fear what i can not see.by the way there is no such thing as perfect love, you would think that people know that already.
