Fear is a dark shadow that envelops us and ultimately imprisons us within ourselves. Everyone has been a prisoner of fear at one time or another fear or rejection, misunderstanding, uncertainty, sickness, or even death. but we can conquer fear by trusting in the lord, who brings salvation. if we want to dispel the darkness of fear, let us remember with the psalm writer that the Lord is my light and salvation.

We often run to God when we experience difficulties. But David sought God’s guiding presence EVERY DAY. When troubles came his way, he was already in God’s presence and prepare to handle any test. Believers can call to God for help at any time, but how shortsighted to call on God only when troubles come. Many of our problems could be avoided or handled far more easily by seeking God’s help and direction beforehand.
