Every day the news is full of devastation and loss. It seems no one is immune to the violence that surrounds us.
The fear may even threaten to paralyze you.
When faced with fear, you may be comforted by relying on someone else’s strength and protection.
But can any person, group, or government really protect you from this chaos?
There is one place we can always turn...
The God of the Bible says this to those who love him and are called his children...
So, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

“I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.”

Freedom From Fear
We are not promised lives free of suffering, but here is what God does promise to those who love him. Unending love that casts out all fear. The comfort of his Presence here and now. Peace with him. And an eternity spent with him that will be free of pain and death and sorrow.
If you are afraid of violence, pray this prayer.
Dear God, Thank you for always being there for me and standing for me in the midst of chaos. Please, protect me and my family from violence and evil. You see that my heart is filled with fear for the future. Fill my heart with peace and hope in You and Your power to save.
