1st John chapter 4 verse 18 there is no fear and love but perfect love casts out fear.

financial collapse, nuclear war, or world war, illness, death, pollution of drinking water,

biological warfare, cyber terrorism or terrorism or not having enough money for the future.

fear. We don't have to be afraid of anything when we're beloved of God.

When we know our God holds all government officials ultimately in the palm of his hand.

That our God holds the future in the palm of his hand.

He holds nations and leaders of nations in the world in the palm of his hand.

And he holds us in the palm of his hand.

He loves you.

No matter what you're facing in your life,

no matter what you're worried about,

anxious about, or afraid of,
