“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

PSALM 46:13

” I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from?2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.3 He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber;4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.5 The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand;6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.7 The Lord will keep you from all harm ,he will watch over your life;8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”

PSALM 121:1-8

In God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?

Psalm 56:11

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

Why faith is important:

Our fears stand between us and God, but faith puts God between us and our fears.

” I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my lips.2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.4 I sought the Lord, and He heard …..And delivered me from all my fears.”
