Day 10. When I am afraid
Verse (King James Version)
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
Psalm 56:3 (KJV)
Read
This verse starts with an honest line: “when I am afraid.” The Bible does not pretend we never feel fear. The decision comes next: “I will trust.” Trust here is something you choose, again and again, rather than a feeling you wait for.
