How King David had responded in his fear. David stated, what can mere man do to me?  How much harm can people do to us? They can inflict pain, suffering, and even death. But no person can rob souls or the future beyond this life. Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul.” Matthew 10:28  Instead, we should fear God, who controls life and the next. But how much harm can we do to ourselves? The worst thing we can do is to reject God and lose our eternal future. Jesus promised John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 

Even in our deepest sorrow and pain God cares. Jesus reminded us further of how much God understands us; he knows even the number of our hairs on our heads. Matthew 10:30 Often we waver between faith and fear. When we feel so discouraged that we are sure no one understands, remember that God knows every problem and sees every fear.

Whatever the situation, when we come upon fear and anxiety, it is a challenge how deep is our trust in God. We have to rely on God. Times of desperation call for unyielding faith in God’s promised. God keeps track of every sorrow. God is a loving Father who is right there with us. Comforts us, He knows our struggles, He wants to be there to comfort us, to help us, to provide for us, and to watch over us.

We need to remember that in our desperate time that God promises us to take care of us but God is also well aware and His heart is breaking right along with us. Here are a few practical things that we can do in our desperate time. Set aside our fears and give them to God, through: “I will come to you.” His Son Jesus Christ, who promised John 14:18, I will not leave you comfortless, and trust then God to take care of it. This is the best thing we can do if we truly trust God; go to Him first and to bring our requests. Bring our fears, bring our concerns, bring out our fears and layout before God and pray to Him to give us wisdom and to give us guidance.

Another important thing we need to do is reading the Bible. Go to God’s words. Read about other Psalms. Read to know what God’s promise for us personally is, that He loves us and He has chosen us that He will be with us. He will lead us through the Holy Ghost and provide us all our needs. He will give us the strength to get past whatever the situation we are facing.  God is worthy of our trust. Bring your fear and your past concern to God and watch how He takes care for all the details to the end.
