The LORD hears the call of all of His children

Sisters in Jesus...fear has always "run rampant" no matter what time in history; past, present, or future. 

If you haven't been fearful, you are not paying attention.

"These are the times which try men's souls"

We can rest in the knowledge that the LORD watches over His own. We can be fearful; we can feel fearful, but we can always run to the LORD who is our Strong Tower. This is where we find rest among our troubles, our fears. With the LORD we can still live vibrantly among our struggles. 

As children of God we belong to the King of Kings, His Son, Jesus! No matter what comes, we will be safe in Him even if He takes us home! 

Find comfort in His strength and your fears can be handled by Him.

Proverbs 18:10

..."The name of the Lord is a strong tower;

The righteous runs into it and is safe."...

Romans 8:12-18

..."So then, brethren, we are under obligation, 

not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

for if you are living according to the flesh, 

you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting 

to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, 

these are sons of God.

For you have not received a spirit of slavery

leading to fear again, but you have received a 

spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 

“Abba! Father!”

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that 

we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, 

if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also 

be glorified with Him.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present

time are not worthy to be compared with the glory 

that is to be revealed to us."...

Matthew 10:26-31

..."do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed 

that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be 

known.

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; 

and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim 

upon the housetops.

Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to 

kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy 

both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? 

And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart 

from your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

So do not fear; you are more valuable than many 

sparrows."...

Deuteronomy 31:6

..."Be strong and courageous, 

do not be afraid or tremble at them, 

for the Lord your God is the one who 

goes with you. 

He will not fail you or forsake you.”
