Psalm 91

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” (Psalms 91:1-16 NLT)
With everything that is going on in the world right now it’s easy to live in constant fear or worry. Disease. Poverty. Terrorism. It could be easy to want to stay at home under your covers all day to stay away from all the things that plague us on a daily basis. That fear escalates times ten when you have kids. 
That’s why I love this chapter in Psalms. It offers us the answer to that fear. When you choose to make God your safe place and trust Him to protect you - NOTHING can come near you! I’ll say it again! NOTHING can come near you to harm you! I’m not making this up! Read that passage again if you don’t believe me! 
We can walk in such a place of peace  and confidence in who God is that fear can’t touch us. I challenge you to read Psalm 91 every day for the next month. If fear is a big issue for you, read it more than once. Allow the Word of God to change your heart and mind. You will find yourself walking in a place that nothing, not even the tiniest bit of fear, can come near you.
