Deuteronomy 10-12, Psalm 56
Psalm 56:3-4 (NLT)
“But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?”
In Psalm 56:3–4, David declares his trust in the Lord: “When I am afraid, I will trust in You.” David does not deny his fear or pretend it does not exist. Instead, he makes a deliberate choice to place his trust in Father-God. He brings his fears honestly before the Lord and remembers the promises God has made to him. Rather than relying on his own strength or wisdom, David anchors himself in the sovereignty of the Lord. Because of that trust, he declares that he will not fear what mere mortals can do to him.
These verses remind me that when I feel afraid, I should turn to the Lord without embarrassment or hesitation. David shows believers that fear is not a failure of faith; it is an opportunity to exercise it. By praising Father-God and recalling His faithfulness, we shift our focus from the threat to the One who is greater than the threat. In the Lord’s presence, fear loses its power.
Like David, I can confront my fears with faith. When I remember that Father-God is sovereign over every circumstance, I do not have to be controlled by anxiety about what others might do or what the future might hold. Trust does not erase fear instantly, but it steadies my heart in the middle of it.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives peace and security even in fearful moments—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
