we really don't have to be afraid...

When all is said and done, there really isn't a whole lot we can trust. Most of us have been hurt at one time or another by a friend or family member who has betrayed our trust. The world economy is volatile and things can turn sour in just a few days. The weather shifts and changes by the hour. But in our world of change, in our heartbreak and disappointment, there is one constant. We can trust God. We don't have to fear change. He is our anchor that holds in the strongest storms. He is our strength in our worst battles. His word and his promises speak of good things for us. We don't have to be afraid; we can trust in him. No matter what the election outcome next week, no matter what happens in our economy, no matter what happens with our families and churches....God is God.

Almighty Father, my Deliverer and Strength, with your help and presence I will not fear the days ahead. I praise you for sustaining your people, preserving your Word, the Bible, through persecutions and purges. I praise you and will not be afraid because my life and my future are in your hands. In the name of Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
