Although in his latter years Sauron became nigh so great as Morgoth. And Eonwë was most likely the strongest of the 'good' Maiar, seeing as he led the armies. That is only on physical might. Intellectually, yes, Gandalf had a lot of prowess. But he had enough reason to be afraid. He is not invincible, and infact rather weak on a scale of Maiar in battle.
