FEAR
By: Whitney Huff
I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4 NASB
When I was a kid, most of my life actually, I have struggled with fear. I can remember being so afraid of the dark that it would literally take my breath away. Nowadays most fear comes in the form of “what’s coming next, how am I going to do that, and I know I will mess that up.”
It amazes me how fear can come in so many ways, how sneaky it is, and how fast it can overtake. Something that has worked for me in those moments of fear is filling my mind with simple truths. Yes, I know this is something we hear to do all the time, but I promise this will drown out the voice of fear in your mind.
I have a hard time remembering things, so I tend to break things down in portions, to truly grasp what it is I’m trying to hold on to. So, in this particular scripture, even though short, I break it down into three parts. Part one: seek the Lord. Part two: He answers. Part three: He delivers. So small, yet so powerful.
I encourage you to memorize this scripture, not just memorize the words, but the truth within it. The three parts it lays out will, in times of overwhelming fear, bring peace to you.
