When I'm afraid, I'll put my trust in God.

A Bible affirmation for confidence, rooted in Psalm 56:3-4.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise - in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Psalm 56:3-4 · BSB

Reflection

David wrote this when the Philistines had seized him in Gath. He doesn't say I'm never afraid. He says when I am afraid, I trust You. Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's where you take it.

A prayer

Lord, I'm afraid. I'm putting my trust in You, and I won't let fear decide.
