Have you ever been afraid? I have. It's especially discomforting when it involves a loved one facing an illness or if it is prolonged. But the Lord said he will never leave us nor forsake us. And the Psalmist David reminded us that when we are afraid we can trust in God. There is much in the Psalms about facing life's fears. The key is to tell God about our anxieties but not stay immersed in them. Rather we tell God and then, as David did, we rehearse the character, works, and promises of God, again and again as needed.
