He wrote: &#8220;Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me&#8221; (Psalm 23:4). Psalm 91:5\u201313 points out that those who trust in the Lord have nothing to fear because the Lord watches over them both day and night.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we keep from being afraid? Very simply, get over yourself! If the situation you are facing seems like it\u2019s too much to manage, then maybe it is too much to manage. Fear comes when we think we are responsible for bringing about this protection ourselves. Too often, we think\u2014 \u201cOh, if I can just believe hard enough, maybe I\u2019ll be protected!\u201d OR \u201cOh, if I were to have a certain status then I\u2019ll take care of it\u201d That\u2019s wrong thinking! The protection is already there and surprise, it has nothing to do with you. It has already been provided, whether we receive it or not.<\/p>\n<p>Faith is simply the choice to receive what Jesus has already done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today<\/strong>: <em>Lord, thank You that I\u2019ll not be afraid of any terror as I choose to abide in the secret place.
