Proverbs 3:25-26   ²⁵ Do not be afraid of sudden panic, or of the storm that strikes the wicked; ²⁶ for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.

In the times we live, there are many things that can cause fear, anxiety, and terror. We are afraid to unlock our doors. We are afraid to walk our streets. We are afraid to travel. We want to stay home and stay safe. But even there, panic sets in when we hear noises in the night.

Whatever may come our way, the Lord is with us. He gives us peace in the midst of the chaos. This peace allows us to walk with confidence and face situations head on. We do not fear because we are secure in the Lord.

Are you facing a tough situation? Are you dealing with difficult news? Are you fighting for justice in the midst of injustice? Are you struggling to stay safe in a dangerous environment? Trust in the Lord. He will guide your steps. He will give you wisdom and discernment. He will give you peace.

Lord, there are so many things in our lives that make us afraid. Help us remember that you are here. Amen.
