APRIL 30
DELIVERED FROM FEARS
I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
PSALM 34:4
In Psalm 34, David praised God for saving him from his many fears. What fears follow you throughout the day? How much do they affect your daily decisions, your daily joy? Have you tried to free yourself from the anxieties that haunt your soul? Have you experienced, like the psalmist, deliverance from those things? If so, you can understand his praise. To be relieved of fear can feel like finally dropping a burden, lightening an unbearable load.
We praise our God for this miraculous delivery from all our fears, including our troubles (v. 6), our wants and needs (v. 9), our heartbreak (v. 18), and our enemies (v. 16).
When we seek God in our prayers, He hears and delivers us from all our fears.
Lord, when I call out to You, You answer. I am so grateful for Your daily deliverance.
