Not to shame it. Not to deny it. But to bring it honestly into the presence of God. Fear often appears where something feels uncertain, vulnerable, or beyond our control. It can lead to hiding, hesitation, overthinking, or the feeling that we are not enough for what is in front of us. And yet, Scripture reminds us that God often meets people not after fear disappears—but in the middle of it. Gideon was hiding when God called him a mighty warrior. And even in Gideon’s questions and uncertainty, God remained patient and present. “I will be with you.” As you move through this week, let those words stay near. A Prayer to Carry Gracious and faithful God: Thank You for meeting me gently in the places where fear still lives. When uncertainty rises, remind me that I am not alone. Where fear causes hiding, draw me into trust. Where fear creates hesitation, strengthen me with Your presence. Lead me in Your way everlasting. In Jesus’ name, amen.
