Psalms 56: As a small child I remember being scared in the middle of the night. I would creep into my parents room and my mom would say, what is our verse? I would repeat Psalm 56:3-4 “What time I am afraid I will trust in thee, in God whose name I praise.” Mom and dad would assure me I was not alone and that God was with me. Since that time I have faced many other scary times. Each time I faced fear this verse was my constant companion as I stretched out my hand once again to the God whose name I praised. Maybe tonight you need to do the same thing. Here is just a small portion of this great Psalm. Better yet, turn there in your Bible and rest in the whole passage.

Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?

9 Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

No matter what you face today, Our Great God is right there with you fighting for you and listening for your every care.
