They did not remember

                   His power

or the day when 

   He redeemed them

            from the foe.

 

                       Psalm 78. 42

 

(A clear definition of anxiety.

How much of our worry and fear

comes from 

short term memory loss?

God's faithfulness

extends seamlessly

from the past 

to the now

and way beyond to what is next.

Our foes are comprised

     of anything or anyone we fear,

     both real and imagined. 

God is not about to 

                abandon us now.  

We have only to trust Him again

     and take the next step.)

O LORD,

Our worries and fears 

     paralyze us into inaction

and keep us from trusting You.

Help us to not just 

    remember Your faithfulness

    in the past

but to seize Your Presence

      in what we are going through

                            now.

May we share our stories of Your goodness

          and all those narrow squeaks

to encourage others in their own journeys

and to remind us

             to walk with You

             even in this.
