Are you ever afraid?
Afraid of what is going to happen tomorrow? This month? In the years to come?
Afraid that you will never pass a test, never find "the one," never have a family, never be successful at your job, fail as a friend, fail as a parent.
Are you ever afraid of these things?
I am. Daily.
I fear, and worry, and doubt God's gracious hand in my life.
But once I open up his word I am reminded...
"do not be afraid"
