Today, I listened to a portion of Focus on the Family’s daily broadcast. It was about dealing with the financial crisis, but a lot of what they spoke about could be applied to other stressors in our lives. The guest (I can’t remember his name) said the bible tells us 80 times to "not fear". He thinks that means God doesn't want us to live in fear (said tongue in cheek).
The guest mentioned the scripture below as his foundation when he's dealing with issues. I hope these words will encourage you today and in the weeks to come.
Psalm 73:23-28 (New International Version)
23 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
28 But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
