"What To Do When You Are Afraid"

Sep 14, 2025    Shane Jenkins

In this powerful message, we're reminded that fear is a universal human experience, but our faith can be greater. The central scripture, Psalm 56:3-4, teaches us to trust in God when we're afraid. We're encouraged to admit our fears, anchor our faith in God's presence and promises, and affirm our confidence in Him. The story of David facing various challenges - from lions and bears to Goliath - illustrates how even the mightiest servants of God dealt with fear. This message speaks directly to our hearts, addressing the fears that may be whispering lies to us about our worth and God's love. We're reminded that God's truth counters these lies: He loves us, He's with us, and He never leaves us. This teaching is especially relevant in our current world, where fear seems to grip our communities and nations. It challenges us to turn our panic into prayer and our worry into worship, encouraging a deeper, more courageous faith journey.
