Psalms 56:3
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
The psalmist gives us a powerful strategy for overcoming fear through faith.
David doesn't say 'if' he is afraid but 'when' - acknowledging that fear is a reality we all face. The key is what we do with our fear. Rather than being controlled by it, David redirects his focus to trust in God. Faith doesn't eliminate fear but provides a greater anchor when storms arise.
Apply This Today
When anxiety rises today, deliberately turn your attention to God's faithfulness and trustworthiness in past situations.
Prayer
Father, when fear threatens to overwhelm me, remind me to put my trust in You. You are my refuge and strength in every frightening circumstance. Amen.
