When I Am Afraid



Psalm 56:2-4 King James Version (KJV)


2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

Dear Friends,

Sometimes I am afraid.  Afraid in my humanness.  This morning when I woke up there was a feeling of anxiety, which is fear, in my head.  What I have learned, what I continue to learn, is what to do with fear.  When I am afraid I will trust in the Lord.  When I am afraid I will praise His Word.  What does this mean?  I will apply God's remedy to my fear.
God has said, "Fear not" numerous times throughout the scriptures.  It's time to look up verses.  It's time to review, memorize and recite.  When I am afraid, I will trust in the Lord.
The enemy does not leave me alone because I am a child of God.  Yet, the Lord will cause Him to retreat when I praise the Lord's Word.  When I dare to believe, help is always available to me.  It's personal.  The Lord says: Fear not_______! Put your name in the blank.

I praise God that even though I may step on the "pavement" of "when I am afraid" I don't reside on its street. I am walking daily in the favor of the Almighty God.  He reminds me to trust him and that I do not have to be afraid.
Fear not.

God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
