When I am Afraid, I put my Trust in You.
We can Pause and Remember the Truth: that God Fights for us, He’s With us, and He’ll Never Leave us.
Think back to a time when you were genuinely scared.
As much as we’d prefer to never experience fear, fear is a part of the human experience.
But when we are afraid, we have options…
We can panic, stress, get overwhelmed with worry, overthink every worst-case scenario,
and attempt to numb out the anxiety-inducing situations around us in unhealthy ways …
or, we can echo David’s words:
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Psalm 56:3 ESV:
When I am Afraid, I put my Trust in You.
Something worth noting is that these words were penned after David had been captured by the Philistines.
He was being harassed by his enemies and was scared for his life.
But David refused to settle for scared.
He resisted the urge to let fear have the final say.
He decided to fight back with Truth…
…And so can we.
We never have to fight alone.
God has given us something more powerful than ordinary weapons:
He’s given us His Word, His Spirit, and His people.
Even when we don’t have access to the perfect inspirational sermon or a timely word of encouragement,
we can pause and remember the truth: that God fights for us, He’s with us, and He’ll never leave us.
When we shift our minds from our overwhelming fear to God’s overwhelming faithfulness, everything changes.
So, today, if you’re scared, anxious, terrified, overwhelmed, or uncertain—speak this out loud:
When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
Psalm 56:3 KJV
[3] What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
When I am Afraid, I put my Trust in You.
Let Us Pray:
God, when I’m afraid, I will put my trust in You.
And I will rely on You no matter what comes my way because You are my source of strength and safety.
You guide me and fight for me.
When I draw near to You, I have nothing to fear, because I know that You are in control—and You are all I need.
So today, I intentionally choose to trust in You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
