14 Prayers for a Widow's Journeyنموونە
...when I am afraid...
Lord, how easy it is to imagine all that could go wrong. My money won’t be enough. My car will break down. My health will fail. My family will be too busy for me. My friends will forget me. My church won’t care about me. I’ll grow old alone and always be alone. And then there are the big issues like war and famine, global warming and natural disasters. Evil.
Remind me, Lord, that even if my worst fears come true, You are always there. No, not there. Here, beside me. With me. I can put my trust in You.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
Psalm 56:3-4
