Praying Through: Psalm 23:4b My Only Fear

The Psalm

Psalm 23:4b (CSB) I fear no danger

The Prayer

Death, sin, hell, and Satan

• I still fear them
• I still alarmed at their presence
• I am still scared

Yet, I am reminded

• that you came into our world
• not full of power
• but filled with vulnerability
• at the risk of your life
• and the lives of your parents
• you could not protect yourself
• but your family were at the mercies
• of your Father's great sovereignty.

And yet, I am further reminded

• because you gave up your life
• because you handed your body over to be crucified
• you defeated my fears
• you have conquered my actual enemies

I fear no evil

• I fear you
• You are my King and my God
• You alone have the power
• to save me
• from despair.

Amen.
