I Will Not Live In Fear!

By Kay Heitsch

After Todd died in a car accident, I had people ask me how I would feel when Shannon and Brandon wanted to start driving. Did I think I would fear something terrible would happen to them too?

It's interesting the questions people ask. Each question caused me to think and reflect on how the LORD had helped me.

Todd dying was a terrible tragedy! But I saw how the LORD brought good out of it. I saw He cared for me and helped me through this horrible situation. I was determined I would not live in fear that the same fate would happen to our other children.

The text, "They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them." Psalm 112:7

When I read this verse, I knew I wanted to make it a reality in my everyday life. I understand how stress has caused me to have health issues. With the LORD's help, I wanted to consider how He cared for me throughout the journey. I didn't want to fear bad news.

Bad things happen to everybody! It's a fact of life! But we know we do not need to live in fear when we trust the LORD to care for us and bring something good out of every bad thing that happens in our lives.
