Reflection

• 1) What is it that you are afraid of, lurking in the darkness?

• 2) What is the injustice that has you raging inside, either because of what is happening that never should have happened, or because of what hasn’t happened that should have happened?

Read Psalm 46, reminded of God’s fierce protection, intimate presence, and abundant provision in your life - trusting God to fight your battles, knowing God’s got this!
