Looking back on life, the “them” in this passage changes in many ways. Focusing on these changes can make us stronger in many aspects of life. If we face “them” with God by our side, it is easier because we know that we are not alone.
For many of us, when faced with a new challenge, job, or even medical diagnoses we tend to rely on what we can read, hear from a professional, or see for ourselves. This can lead to frustration and even more fear of the unknown. If we can take that information and then give our fears to God, he will be with us and see us through.
Fear is a very real and present feeling in our lives, sometimes a daily basis. When we are asked to be strong and courageous, we may feel that that is an impossible task. In these times ask God for help to see you through. It may be something as small as taking a test in class or something as momentous as facing a life altering illness or loss. In all cases God is with you and will see you though. We must also remember that we are all God’s children and that he loves and protects us from what He does not want to harm us. Pray every day and give your worries and fears to God. He will be there, right beside you every step of the way. Having the courage to do this takes Faith and Love that is freely given us by God the Father.
Dear God, Father, and Creator,
you know my limitations.
I know you will guide me
through this challenge.
I am afraid,
but with your help
I can accomplish the task at hand.
I give my fears to you
and ask for guidance
along my path always.
Amen.
