It is a fact: the Lord is my light and my salvation. So why should I be afraid? Since the Lord fears nothing, why should we fear?

The Scriptures also declare that God is a “very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). If we can’t trust the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving God of the universe to help us, where can we turn? But we can trust Him!

God is able, indeed He is anxious, to deliver us from all sorts of trouble. He wants to give us strength to overcome the temptation to the sin that separates Him from those He loves. He wants to give us the courage to confront our problems instead of avoiding them or denying them, and then He will provide the practical wisdom and help we need to deal with them.

What do you fear today? Failure? Rejection? An illness or physical danger? The uncertainty of the future? Whatever it is, ask God to help you turn it over to Him. “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
