“The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID, for you are RIGHT BESIDE ME. Your rod and your staff PROTECT and COMFORT me.” (Psa. 23:1-4) We do not EVER have to be afraid because the Lord is ALWAYS with us to PROTECT and COMFORT us.
“Fear not, for I AM WITH YOU; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will UPHOLD YOU with My righteous right hand.” (Isa. 41:10) There is nothing wrong with feeling fear. It’s something we all experience in life. But God wants us to help us learn to CONFRONT OUR FEARS and CONQUER THEM one by one. “I will fear no evil; For YOU ARE WITH ME…”
