When we create our own crises through poor decisions, finding peace can seem impossible. David's story teaches us how to move from fear to faith even when we've caused our own problems. After fleeing from King Saul, David made fear-driven choices that led him straight into enemy territory in Gath. While imprisoned there, he wrote Psalm 56, revealing five crucial steps: be honest about your fear, put fear into perspective, remember you're still seen and loved, declare that God is for you, and choose to praise while you wait. Even in our self-created messes, God's grace remains available, demonstrating that He is for us, not against us.
