Take those fears from them and help them put their trust in You, that they may feel Your strong arms around them. Last month a photograph set me thinking. An Associated Press photo showed a father hugging his daughter and stepdaughter after the terrible shootings at Santana High School in Santee, California. All three were in shock. The picture stirred up my own anxiety for the well being of my children.
Fears are part of life.
If it's not fear for the safety of our family, it might be fear for our economic future. It might be fear as you get older and realize you can't be as independent as you once were. It might be fear for our health. The doctor announced that you have cancer or some other dreaded disease. You fear a death sentence has been pronounced.
