Your Story:

A Place of Fear

Thinking Back

• Have you ever been in a life-threatening position or a place of total fear where you knew something devastating could happen to you? Where were you at the time, and what were you doing at that location?

• What personal thoughts or choices led you to finding yourself in this position?

Thinking Inward

• How did your body respond, physically and mentally, to the fearful situation?

• What was your greatest fear about what could happen or what the end result of this situation might be?

Thinking Outward

• Who else was involved? Was there anyone who could have or should have come to your rescue?

• It is a natural response to “hide” memories of fear in our memory vault. Have you shared your memory of fear with someone you trust? Did you sense God’s presence with you at the time?

Thinking Forward

• What have you learned from your past fearful experience(s) to guide you in the future?

• What area of your life still brings you fear or is in need of God’s protection today?

Write a Prayer: Share all of your fears with God and ask Him to protect you from harm and help you conquer the fears.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Your word says that You are an ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1) and that You are a refuge and a shield (Psalm 119:114), protecting us in ways we cannot see. I pray that You would protect us and show us how You are helping us through life’s hardships and fearful situations. Remove fear from our lives today, and help us to trust in You.

In Your name, amen.

“God is our refuge and strength,

an ever-present help in trouble.”

Psalm 46:1
