I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from my fears.

A Bible affirmation for anxiety, rooted in Psalm 34:4.

I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:4 · BSB

Reflection

David wrote this after escaping a frightening situation in Gath. Notice it says all my fears, not only the big ones. Seeking God is where freedom from fear starts.

Lord, I'm seeking You. Answer me, and deliver me from my fears.
