“But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.
I praise God for what He has promised.
I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?” ~ Psalm 56:3-4, NLT
“Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy!
I look to You for protection.
I will hide beneath the shadow of Your wings
until the danger passes by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who will fulfill His purpose for me.
He will send help from heaven to rescue me,
disgracing those who hound me.
My God will send forth His unfailing love and faithfulness.” ~ Psalm 57:1-3, NLT
Whenever I’m Afraid, I Will Trust in You, Lord
Lord, many are the afflictions of the righteous, but You promise to deliver us out of them all. You promise to be our shelter in the storm, our refuge, our strong tower we can run into and be safe. Even so, I’m afraid Lord, but I don’t want to be.

Would You draw ever closer and remind me of who I am to You? Will You open my ears to hear Your delicate whisper affirming me, reassuring me that You are near, that I have nothing to fear because You are with me?
Nothing that is happening in the world today should surprise me — it certainly doesn’t surprise You.
You told us for generations that the depravity of man would take over, that evil would rear it’s ugly head. You also told us to be of good cheer, for You have overcome the world. You promised that You have given us peace — not as the world gives, but perfect peace that makes no sense.
Awaken me to Your peace once again.
Turn my eyes toward You, Lord so the things of earth will grow dim. Let Your light permeate the darkness, Your goodness overcome the evil one.
And although I’m afraid, I know when I look to You, courage will replace the fear. When I meditate on Your Word in the late watches of the night, peace will prevail in my heart. For You are mighty to save and You are in our midst. You rejoice over us with singing and You quiet us with Your love.
Your Word Sustains Me, Lord
Will You quiet me, Lord when I’m afraid? Will You surround me with songs of deliverance that shield and protect me and cause the enemy to flee?
Thank You, Lord, for Your Word is True and sustains me with its power. Thank You for You. I love You.
In the Name of Jesus, I pray,
Amen — let it be so

Sweet blessings to you,

I need Prayers now, My lower back is hurting so bad, had upper back left side pain for years! Thanks for Prayers.
Oh, Miss Grace, I’m so sorry you are suffering. I’m stopping to pray for you right now. I love you.
I have fear panic attacks God healed me ..but a lot of deaths in my family
brought them back please pray for me
Oh sweet Peggy, I’m so sorry. Panic attacks are so difficult and frightening. I can see why you have been triggered, and why your spirit would be vulnerable. I’m stopping to pray for you right now and asking God to not only comfort you and heal your broken heart, but to also lift high your shield of faith to guard you against the triggers the enemy would throw your way. Remember, in Isaiah 43 the Lord promises that WHEN we pass through the troubled waters, we will not drown because He is with us. And WHEN we pass through the flames, we will not be burned because He is our God and He is with us wherever we go. I’m asking the Lord to renew the joy of your salvation and to soothe the emotional pain. Sweet blessings to you, Nan
