The feeling of dread can be all-consuming. You might dread going to the doctors in fear of bad news. You may also have a feeling of trepidation about having to confront someone or say something you’d rather avoid. In fact, dread can fill your life so much that you might feel paralyzed to do what you need to do. But do not fear! While the Bible is filled with wonderful quotes on how to combat fear and anxiety, this one quote from Deuteronomy is perfect for some peace of mind you’ve been searching for.
“Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the
LORD, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
Knowing
that “God
marches with you” is enough to fill anybody with the fortitude
they need to face any
situation. What’s more, these four words alone are
something you can recite as often as you need if dread creeps up on you. By repeating them over and over
you’ll soon be able to face absolutely anything. Of course, while these words can
comfort adults, they’re a very concrete way of reassuring children, too. If you teach your children these four wonder
words, they can not only remember them, but say them when they need a little
extra courage. Don't let Him walk alone, but walk with Him, and you will always be safe.
