Psalm 23:4 - Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
True security is not found in the absence of danger. It is found in the presence of our good God.
Crossing Those Scare Valleys
1) Don't be too eager to avoid the valleys
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.
You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you.
Isaiah 43:2
You will have suffering in this world.
John 16:33
Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials.
James 1:2
2) Know that every scary valley is a path to something better.

4) Don't wander off from God and your church and isolate yourself.
The enemy __ attacks the "stragglers" who are isolated from the ___ .
