Have you ever been afraid? Some people get up each morning with the spirit of fear that overtakes them and they can't seem to shake it off. They have a fear of driving, they fear what their day might hold, they are fearful of losing their job or they are fearful of the people around them.

Many they are afraid of the unknown. The unknown future, what tomorrow will bring or what our life will be like in 5 years...

What can you do when you are afraid?

Psalms 56:3
"What time I am afraid I will trust in Thee."

It sounds too easy but it's really the only way to overcome our fears. Life has a way of throwing us many curves and fear seems to settle in when we can't put our finger on what our life will be like with so many changes that seem to be taking place.

Our confidence and our hope has to be in God. What is it that the song says, "Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand but I know who holds tomorrow and I know He holds my hand." God is stretching out His hand to you today and simply just saying, "Trust me, everything is going to be okay".

Prayer:
"Lord, we make mistakes and things in our lives happen because of decisions and actions we take upon ourselves. But you are still God. You never leave our side no matter how bad of a mess we might create. Help me today to know you are still holding my hand and guiding me into places I have never been. Help me to simply trust You today."
