Guarding Against Fear

Are you struggling against fear? Are your anxieties rising? Are you on edge? These are strange times. We’ve never been through anything like the Covid19-pandemic. Where do we go from here? Thankfully, we have a road-map, the Word of God, to get us through! Psalm 94:19 reminds us, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Friends, this is the time when we must press into our faith. When anxious thoughts arise, I find it helpful to slowly repeat Psalm 23, and then think carefully about each phrase. Also, I find listening to praise music and singing to God lifts me out of fear.
