3 Securities in Times of Fear

Does the prevalence of evil in our society cause you to be fearful for loved ones or perhaps even yourself? Recently, after speaking at a church, a mom confided in me that she feared for her child. Part of her fear was because she had been molested as a child. Part was due to the moral decline in our nation and the increase in lawlessness.  What hope was I able to give her?

PRAYER:  Jesus teaches us to pray, “Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” We can pray that daily for our loved ones and ourselves. We can pray that for our nation, that the unsaved and those who are blinded by evil and who are deceived will open their eyes and hearts and turn to the Truth and Light.

The BIBLE. The Bible is a safeguard that teaches us what to do and not do. We can teach our children to respect and obey God and His Word which will keep them from walking in evil ways.

ETERNAL SALVATION.  We can’t escape all evil influences, but, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 comforts us that the Lord is faithful, and will strengthen and PROTECT us from the evil one. How we need that at this time!

Which of the above three could you strengthen to safeguard you and your family from evil?

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your Word that shows us how to live, for being able to pray to You, and for Christ’s faithfulness to strengthen and protect us. 

TIP: Record prayers for loved ones here as a reminder of God’s faithfulness.
