This speaks to rebuking any fear that comes to you.....the Lord is bigger than any of that. Repeat this verse when you are challenged with fear of any kind.


Here is Psalm 91

Some call it a 911 to God (Psalm 91 verse 1)

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
—Psalm 91:1

It goes on in Psalm 91

9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.

These are reassuring words that give one a sense of protection and that God loves you and is with you at all times.

God is so good & kind.
Psalm 91 is one of my favorites. If you are familiar with the hymn "On Eagle's Wings" by Michael Joncas, it is based on Psalm 91. That is also one of my favorite hymns.

Psalm 23 also brings great comfort.
