In a crisis, nothing is more important than the Word of God. Our emotions will lie to us. They will tell us the situation is hopeless. The only defense we have against our deceiving emotions is the Word. Thoughts produce emotions. If we think negative, fear-filled thoughts, we will feel fearful. If we think faith-filled thoughts, we will feel confident. Repressing our negative thoughts doesn’t work. Instead, we must replace every fearful thought with the Word.
“Do not be afraid and do not panic…. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
— Deuteronomy 31:6 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, fill our hearts and our minds with Your eternal Word. Bring it to our remembrance every time we are tempted to be afraid. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
