Even IfNäide

We’ve all got stuff we are afraid of; it’s normal. Things like rejection, not measuring up, being alone, the negative opinions of others, the unknown, or sickness. Fear can be like a dark shadow over our lives; so powerful it almost feels like a prison. Feeling afraid is a human emotion. But we don’t have to live trapped by fear. This psalm reminds us what is true of God when our fear feels more true—what is real about God when our fear feels more real. In times when we’re afraid, we can remember that God is bigger. God is our safe place.

This week, pray, say it out loud or write in a journal to God your fears, and let His promises be light in your darkness.
