God's Word is powerful. It is sharper than a double-edged sword. It brings clarity and peace in the midst of chaos. What I do is write God's Word down on notecards and keep them with me at all times. I also say them out loud. If there is terror in the midst of your circumstances, call out to Jesus. He is there, Angie. He is in control of the fury. <BR/><BR/>He will keep in perfect peace [s]he whose mind is stayed on You, because [s]he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3<BR/><BR/>God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. <BR/>Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea...The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalm 46:1-3, 7<BR/><BR/>For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)<BR/><BR/>In my anguish, I cried to the Lord and He answered by setting me free. The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid...The Lord is with me; He is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies. Psalm 118:5-7 <BR/><BR/>Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to You, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For You have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. Psalm 61:1-3<BR/><BR/>Because [s]he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue [her]; I will protect [her], for [s]he acknowledges my Name. [S]he will call upon me, and I will answer [her]. I will be with [her] in trouble, I will deliver [her] and honor [her]. Psalm 91:14-15<BR/><BR/>O Lord, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you. May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry. For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave. Psalm 88:1-3<BR/><BR/>Bring joy to your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul...Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me. Psalm 86:4-7<BR/><BR/>Angie, though your soul may feel chained to despair and terror at times, this is our great God's promise to you found in 2 Timothy 2:9:<BR/><BR/>"...God's Word is not chained."<BR/><BR/>Remember that, claim it, and may the peace that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind as you lift up all the hurt, pain, and confusion of this troubling time to Him. He wants to hear it all.
