CONFIDENCE

PSALM 62:6 (ABP)
God alone is the big and mighty rock upon which I'm safe from the battles below. He is the fort in which I feel secure and untouchable.

HEBREWS 12:12-13 (CEV)
Now stand up straight! Stop your knees from shaking and walk a straight path.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God grants his people confidence in the face of all kinds of trouble.

PRAYER
Rock-solid God, thank you for being my safe place. Forgive me for allowing the worries of this world to drag me down. Sometimes I'm on the verge of panic because of the pandemic and political pandemonium. Save me not just from the craziness but also from my shaky knees. I'm going to hold my head up and walk confidently forward because I know that you're in control. Amen.
