Why Should I Be Afraid? Why Should I Tremble?



The LORD is my light and my salvation—
    so why should I be afraid?
The L
ORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
    so why should I tremble?

—Psalm 27:1 (NLT)





LORD God Almighty,



You are my light and my salvation!  You are the One who protects me from danger—my fortress and my refuge from all harm!  So, I have no reason to be afraid—no reason to tremble!



You are the light that shines within me!  You are that unfaltering light that dispels all of the darkness—that never-failing light against which evil cannot stand.  So, let Your light shine in me, and through me, and help me to see it shining all around me, as You keep me in perfect peace and illuminate every step I take with You.



You are my salvation!  You are the One who, through Christ, has saved me from my sin and blessed me with eternal life in You—the One who has made me peculiar, by calling me to come away from the ways of this world, so I can live in ongoing fellowship with You—forever.



You are my fortress and my refuge!  You are the One, the All Powerful God, who keeps me safe in every way:  my Defender—when I am falsely accused; my Protector—from the forces of evil that would seek to destroy me; my Provider—who gives me all that I need to accomplish Your will for me; and my Peace—standing firm and unmoved in the midst of every storm.



You are my light and my salvation!  You are the One who protects me from danger—my fortress and my refuge from all harm!  So, I have no reason to be afraid—no reason to tremble!



In the name of Jesus, Amen.
