Summary
Every day we experience fear in some way. Whether it’s fear over the opinion of others, fear of the future, or fear over the ways and plans of evil, we’re in need of comfort and faith.
Today we’re going to spend time focusing on protection God offers us every day in his goodness and love. May our hearts be comforted and our hands filled with strength as we make space for God to fill.
Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and today's worship is Every Battle by Rita Springer.
