Summary
Fear, weariness, concern, cynicism, frustration seems to define the mood and emotions of many today. We hear of war and violence, corona virus, financial crisis, devastating storms and tornadoes, moral collapse amongst youth, a loss of faith for many young adults, and we are tempted to tremble in our boots, or to be filled with despair.
Yet, scripture speaks to us over and over again about God's desire to protect us, to be present with us, to respond to our prayers, to crush the wicked. Over 80 times in scripture we read, "Fear Not!" and the verse above is one of my favorite "fear not" verses that I learned when I was a very young believer.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad |
| 0:24.6 | that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:38.6 | Hello my friends, I am so happy that you joined me here today at Life with Sally and I wonder |
| 0:44.8 | how are you really, how are all of you doing? I think about you, I pray for you, I have |
| 0:51.6 | you in my heart. For those of you who are new to my podcast, I've been podcasting for several |
| 0:57.0 | years and we have thousands and thousands of people in this community and I just feel so close |
| 1:03.6 | to you, you leave me messages and notes and I get to talk with you and so I really do have you |
| 1:08.6 | in my heart. And as I ponder you listening, maybe while you're washing dishes or exercising |
| 1:15.7 | or in the car or whatever, I really want you to know that I am asking God to make Himself available |
| 1:25.1 | to you for your heart to be open for your eyes to see Him. And I am right in the midst of this, |
| 1:31.3 | as I'm recording this on a Saturday evening because I'm trying to get ahead of my podcast because |
| 1:37.5 | I'm going to ministry planning time this weekend or next weekend, starting on Tuesday night to |
| 1:44.5 | stay to hotel and to go visit a dear friend who is kind of an adopted son for us for many years |
| 1:52.4 | and his two kids and wife and then I'm going to meet with my team for several days in Asheville, |
| 1:58.8 | North Carolina. And we are doing all of this and hopes that we're going to stay well and that we're |
| 2:04.7 | going to be able to plan lots of great things for you next year. But I'm also waiting probably to go |
| 2:12.1 | out to Mexican food with clay in just a few minutes. It's always fun for me to imagine what you're |
| 2:16.6 | doing so I'm telling you what I'm doing. And I did for all of you who've asked, I did see Emma today |
| 2:23.0 | and I thought it was just hysterical. I've watched Emma so many times, Emma by Jane Austen. |
| 2:29.3 | I really like the BBC version that came out a few years ago and I think it's really interesting |
