HE CARES

Has God calmed your fear?

In my distress I prayed to the Lord and the Lord answered
me and rescued me. The Lord is for me, so I will not be
afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Yes, the Lord is
for me; he will help me.
Psalm 118:5-7 NLT

Prayer offers us a way out of our fear. It is all a matter of
calling upon Jesus' name. Only in His name is there help.
The more we call upon His name, the more we will
experience this truth.
Mother Basilea Schlink (1904-2001)

You can know and rest assured that just as God was for
David, he is for you! And because the all-powerful Lord who
is on your side is your shield and defender, you do not have
to be afraid. The Lord is greater than any problem, greater
than any fear, greater than any person opposing you. Thank
him for his help in past situations when there seemed to be
no way out, and trust him and thank him for being "for you"
today.

Prayer:

LORD, thank you for answering me and helping me in my
distress. Thank you for being for me! That truth is amazing
to me and assures me of your concern for me. Help me to
resolve not to be afraid because the Lord of the universe is
on my side!
