Name your concerns

Read Psalm 56:1–13

The psalmist describes enemies and fear, then places trust in God and His word. He does not claim never to feel afraid. The turning point is what he does when fear comes. Let fear become a reason to turn toward God rather than evidence that you cannot pray.

Put the Word into practice

Name the fear and pair your prayer with a truthful statement from the psalm.

Search the Scripture
