When I am afraid…

I love that when I hear the start of that I automatically finish it off with “I will trust in You, I will trust in You!” from Psalm 56:3 Thank you Steve Green and Hide ’em in Your Heart music!

Whether there are big looming fears for the world or just small things that I am concerned about I need this easy reminder that God is the one I trust in…

not world leaders…

not bank accounts…

not employers…

not my abilities…

I have had to practice reminding myself this. There have been times that I have been fearful, of course. But a short rundown of all the ways God has provided for me usually brings me back to a more even keel.

I am so thankful God has me on His mind. He knows what I come up against and my tendency to fall into that fear trap. When I take my eyes off of Him is surely the times that I stumble.

And I feel badly for those who have no use for God and yet live in fear over so much. I know several people who have no use for God but are in a state of high anxiety. I am going to be bold and ask God to open the door with them for a conversation about Him. I am open to having the discussion but I want it to come from their questions and desire to have more peace in their lives.
