In my experience as a Christian orthodox, the fear of the lord is the idea that a higher being or a father-like figure is always watching over you which should stop you from doing sin. The idea is that because you feel like someone is always watching you will feel too ashamed or guilty to do something "sinful" which I personally don't agree with because a person should be inherently good, not because religion told them to be good. But that's just my personal experience, hope this helped!

The fear of the Lord is always trying to do what is pleasing to God because you do not want to make him disappointed in you for sinning and coming under his judgement.

By fearing God, you can avoid being trapped by the natural pull toward going your way. When the Bible talks about fearing God, is referring to an actitude of respect, not outright terror.

A healthy fear of God means to fear the consequences of disobedience.

The fear of God comes as a natural consequence of knowing him. When someone becomes aware that they are accountable to one greater than themselves they develop a kind of fear towards the one to whom they are accountable.

The fear of the Lord is being humble in the eyes of God.  It is vital, because we are nothing without God.  We are simply the creation of the Almighty God in heaven.  We are His humble servants, and we do not have the right to be proud in any manner.  We are not perfect.  God is perfect.  He has the right in everything.  He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

Fear of God is that all kinds of good will flow into the life of the person who fears the Lord. When we walk in the fear of the Lord, we are more concerned about what He says and thinks than the people around us.

It is very important because it is considered morally right to be fear in God. It is only Him that can make things possible, either scary or not.

Fear to our Lord is different from our fear through ghosts and bad guys around us. Spiritual fear is when we have full hearted respect and will to follow Him. And most of all, fear of God is a kind of fear we use to surrender ourselves to Him.

The fear of the Lord is important because it is a reminder to God that He is in control. When God is low on your list of expectations, it feels much more important to have a plan and time frame for His will be known. It means that You are not just providing things to meet our needs, but also taking control of the direction of our lives. This is a very important thing to remember in life because it makes it much easier for God to demand an appearance from You when You are low on His list.
