Amen. I love to pray the scriptures as prayers. When my daughter was young and very sick, I prayed Psalms 91 so much that I memorized it. I love how Father uses that entire prayer to teach me so much. Thank you for sharing this and all that you do. I feel your heart, and it’s beautiful. 🙏🏼💕💖
Beautiful! Thank you for taking the time and effort to write this post.
It reminds me of a question that I was once asked…which I share with anyone dealing with fear and anxiety. I ask this simple question: Why wasn’t David afraid of Goliath? A normal person would have been struck with the absolute fear of their upcoming brutal death. We would think, Goliath is 10X my size, stronger, experienced warrior…the list goes on. We (humans) tend to look at the problem, and in this case immediately recognize our shortcomings. We compare ourselves to the massive warrior standing at the ready before us, which is what we tend to do with all of our problems. David wasn’t afraid of Goliath because he never compared himself to Goliath. David compared Goliath to God. He KNEW God was with him! He knew he served a God that could rescue him from any challenge or trial.
Every time I come across an issue that seems unbeatable, I remind myself of this simple question and it immediately “centers” me and gets me focused and trusting solely on God.
Again, thank you for writing this and thank you for the beautiful prayer.
Amen and Amen! God is our mighty warrior in times of need and uncertainty. He will fight our battles as long as we ask Him to and allow Him to. Thank you Dr. Tenpenny for that lovely reminder.
