Psalms 56:3 NIV
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
Seeing the headlines in the news or thinking about storms to come can be scary, but we don’t have to be. His word says that when we are afraid we can ( we will) put our trust in Him. We put our trust in God who grants us peace when our minds are steadfast and fixed on Him ( Isaiah 26:3).
Keeping our minds on Him and trust in Him removes the burden from trying to solve the problems ourselves. Rather we put our fears and concerns in the hands of the Almighty who is bigger than any problem.
We rest assured that we are in the safety of His arms. We run into a strong tower. The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe(Proverbs 18:10). We remember that God is sovereign and their is nothing to hard for our God.
We remember that He is our loving Father who lavishes is with compassionate love knowing that we are mere humans(Psalm 103:14). And we stand affirmed that He is the Almighty God, sovereign over all. He has us in His hand and nothing can snatch us from His hands( John 10:28-30).So whatever fear or anxiety may raise its head we can crush it with the truth of trusting in all wise Father.
Lord, sometimes I get afraid. Life can be overwhelming and the enemy wants me to be fear. But You did not give me the spirit of fear. So help me to run into the safety of Your arms and trust You. Trust you with my heart and faith. Trust You with my relationships and finances. Trust You with world events. Trust You with everything and anything that would seek to come between us. I love You Lord and I thank You for your grace and mercy. In Jesus name. Amen
