Psalm 56:3-11

Day 10: Something you're afraid of

Wow. Lots of things.

Every time I confess to my mom that I am afraid of something, she reminds me to read Psalm 56:3-11. .....and I am still afraid. I've pretty much been a scaredy cat my whole life. Not of people or of speaking my mind, oddly enough, but of crazy things mostly. Yes, I am afraid of lizards and, sadly enough, the dark. I am afraid of  a murderer breaking into my home and stealing my child. Thank you, 48 hours. I  am petrified of flying. I'm the girl with the bag hyperventilating on the plane. So what. I am afraid of hitting a deer while driving and of one day becoming disorganized. Yes, it is a real fear. But even more than all of that I am afraid of letting people down. It worries me daily. I am afraid of not living up to be the person that I expect myself to be. I am afraid that I won't be as good of a mom as my mom was.

Psalm 56:3
"When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God, whose Word I praise. In God I have put my trust. I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?"
