"But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head."There are many techniques people use for overcoming fear. One technique I always use and has never failed me is trusting in The LORD.
Psalm 3:3
The writer in Psalm 3 (king David) expresses absolute confidence in GOD. He knew that even if there were "ten thousands of people" had set themselves against him he had nothing to fear because he had the Living GOD beside him. So it should be with us. We know that we serve a mighty GOD. Why then do we allow such little problems to trouble us? Doesn't the Bible says in .. "Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world". No problem we face is bigger than GOD. We know that "when the enemy shall come like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him" Isaiah 59:19. Why should we fear when trouble comes, when the rent is due, when bullies threaten, when depression sets in, when a even if the sky were falling. Whatever the problem or circumstance may be, we have this assurance: HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US and WE WILL BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN.
Hold onto those truths because GOD always keeps His promises.
TRUST IN GOD means that we have complete confidence in HIM. We trust and know that because HE is with us all the time we are always safe. No major harm will come to us. He promises to keep us in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Because He holds our lives in His Hands that provides all the security we need for an uncertain future.(or in an unstable and forever changing world). The Hands who holds the future and keeps the earth in orbit and this vast universe in perfect peace and balance is certainly able to keep you when trouble strikes, defend you when you are afflicted or under attack, lift you up when you're down, dry every tear that falls from your eye.
Trusting in The LORD, in His sure Word, in His promises; acknowledging that we can rest secure in the knowledge that HE alone loves and cares for us and sustains us-this brings comfort and drives out fear. 1 John 4:18, Romans 8:15. Whatever your fear or anxiety is take it to the LORD and HE will sustain you.
For He Himself has said "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." He is with you forever. He loves you.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
And HE did exactly that. He left His holy divinity and came down to earth in the Person of Jesus Christ to save humankind from their sins. HE loves us greatly, with a love that can't be compared to any other. And we should love Him enough to say "LORD, I trust You. Although I do not know what the future holds for me, I trust completely the One Who holds the future in the palm of His magnificent Hands."
Praise GOD for all that HE has done in your life. HE loves you with a perfect love. He will never let you down or forsake you. He will never leave you alone to fend for yourself. Depend on Him, no matter what the circumstance is you can trust Him.
Put your trust in GOD
To GOD be the glory and honour
and power forever and ever,
world without end,
Amen.
