"Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken."
Proverbs 3:25-26
I really like this idea of the Lord being our confidence. I think that works on many levels, because it is hard to have confidence in ourselves sometimes, and we're not supposed to trust in the arm of flesh, meaning other people but also possibly ourselves, so it all comes back to our reliance on God. Other people and other things are going to fail us, and sometimes we are going to fail ourselves. But God will never fail us.
Today, let's focus on God and not allow the cares of the world to drag us down. Let's trust in the Lord to help us and teach and take care of us. This doesn't guarantee no trials of course, but sticking with God means knowing that the Lord will provide, even in the midst of trial. Let's work on trusting God and gaining confidence in him.

This also comforts me in the sense of being afraid of the increasing trials ahead. But instead be not afraid of this fear and seek confidence in Gods loving power to be with us always. No matter what.
