“The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.”
Psalm 27:1-2
“In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise— in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? I am under vows to You, O God; I will present my thank offerings to You. For You have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.”
Psalm 56:10-13

Nothing is more important than continually abiding in fellowship with the Lord. Living in His presence, consciously aware of Him and His Kingdom, gives me all of the light and understanding I need to work through any adversity that comes my way. There is no problem for me to solve because He is the perfect solution and I can unconditionally trust Him to make every situation work in harmony with Him to accomplish His purpose. Every situation in which I experience worry, doubt or fear is a simple reminder that I am leaning on my own understanding instead of trusting the Lord. Now that I know the secret of living continuously and victoriously over every circumstance, I am free from fear, bitterness, resentment, anger, frustration, ambition and every form of discontentment. My future is in God’s hands and I know He will guide me, one step at a time, to walk with Him through the mountains and valleys that are ahead of me.
