Verse of the Day

A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.

When I am afraid

“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”

Read in context Explain

Today's insight

Fear is a real part of human life, but it does not have to be the end of your story. The psalmist does not pretend fear will never come; instead, he decides beforehand what he will do: "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee." When anxious thoughts rise today, let them serve as an immediate invitation to place your confidence in God.

Reflect

What specific fear is pressing on your heart right now, and what would it look like to consciously hand it over to God?

Prayer

Lord, when fear grips my heart today, turn my eyes toward You. Teach me to rely not on my own strength, but to place my full confidence in Your care. "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee." Amen.
