The well of things to fear runs deep. How can we have peace when so many things are outside our control? And how are we supposed to enjoy October when every television channel runs horror movie ads every five minutes? 

Today we step out of Luke and into the Psalms–specifically Psalm 27–so we can talk about a common theme at this time of year: fear. We are going to look at how David turns to God when things look bad. 

There is a lot to be gained from looking at how we look at fear, and more importantly, how we look at God. He is our refuge and stronghold–the only place of peace and safety when the world around us is a crazy scary mess. 

So how do we look to God? 

What practical steps can we use to help us turn to Him? 

How do we stop rehearsing worst-case scenarios and start stepping into moments with God?

And how do we live with the courage of The Man With the Yellow Hat?
