Fear
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ
Psalm
56:3
Fear
seemed to be one of the first abnormal symptoms that man experienced following
the fall from perfect union and fellowship with God:
But
the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"
He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid”
Gen. 3:9–10
Since then every heart has known the
panic and trembling that fear brings. Fear of failure. Fear of today. Fear of
the future.
David, who knew the depth of fear as
few people ever have, came to this conclusion as he was seized by the
Philistines:
Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You
David did not deny his fear. He did
not rationalize it or try to overcome it on his own. He admitted his fear and
then affirmed his trust in the Lord.
We should identify the source of our
fear. Bring it before God. Then confidently assert His ability to handle our
fears and His willingness to replace our fears with His courage and peace.
I invite you to repeat the
following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father,
Thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, I confess—I am fearful. Please
replace my fears with Your courage and peace. Whenever I am afraid God, help me
to put my trust in You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Jesus Loves you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
