Genesis 32:1, 7, 9-11, 30 (NASB)Now as Jacob went on his way, the angels of God met him. Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and the herds and the camels, into two companies; Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, who said to me, 'Return to your country and to your relatives, and I will prosper you,' I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies. Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children." So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said, "I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved."
God will meet with us as we go on our way. There is nothing wrong with fear and distress. It is what you do with that fear is what you need to think about. You do what you can but leave all to God. We can meet God face to face and talk to Him today through His Word. (See John chapter one)
