When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; 
I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
Psalms 56:3-4 CSB
Do you have a "go to" verse? 
A fave?
"When I am afraid I will trust in You" Ps56:3
This is one of mine, as it speaks to what is going on in my heart often. 
"When I am afraid I will trust in You" Ps56:3
Last night I was over thinking some aspects of my future.
"When I am afraid 
I will trust in You"
This Psalm helps to lift my view out of myself, raises my eyes to the bigger reality of who God is, where my hope lies.
"When I am afraid 
I will trust in You"
It helps me remember that I can call on the One who is with me
"When I am afraid 
I will trust in You"
When I was worried about someone else I did what I could and gave my fears to the One who can hold them.
"When I am afraid 
I will trust in You"
When my feelings take me to a dark place, when my thoughts are not helpful or healthy I can goto the only One who has been there before me, who knows, who makes beauty from ashes, armies from bones, who makes a way where there is none.
The One who's arms are open for me as I am.
The One who says "come as you are".
The One who sees 
Knows
Chooses
Adopts
Loves
"When I am afraid 
I will trust in You"

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
