A Prayer When Fear Creeps In

Fear is one of the most powerful forces we face. It grips our hearts, clouds our thinking, and often keeps us from trusting God fully. Whether it shows up in anxiety over family struggles, health concerns, or uncertainty about the future, fear can feel overwhelming.

In today's prayer and devotional, we are reminded that even David—the brave warrior who faced giants—admitted he was afraid. In Psalm 56:3, he writes, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” His courage wasn’t rooted in his own strength but in his confidence that God was fighting for him.

Today’s devotional encourages us to hand our anxious thoughts to the Lord and lean on His strength when fear creeps in. We are not alone—God promises His presence, peace, and protection for His children.

• David shows us how to respond to fear: by placing our trust in God.

• When we shift our gaze from our fears to God’s promises, He fights our battles on our behalf.
