Had a very tough morning. I was kind of stumbling (mentally & emotionally) from one chore to the next, thinking about, & feeling overwhelmed by, all the things going on right now, & all the things that need to be done that we don’t have time for, talking to God about it all, & weeping. At one point, I stopped, hung my head, & said to God, “I am so scared! I am so scared.”
Then a little song popped into my mind, I believe from the Holy Spirit. It was a little children’s song from a tape we had when the girls were young, which had songs with scriptures in them. “When I am afraid, I will trust in Him. I will trust in Him, I will trust in Him.” I started singing it aloud, substituting “You” for “Him”. My spirit finally calmed down.
It was a little later that I said aloud, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”
Karen, we have two CDs by Steve Green entitled Hide ‘Em In Your Heart (Volumes 1 & 2). Both of those verses you quoted (“When I am afraid, I will trust in You” and “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”) are set to music on those CDs. Or maybe they’re both on one CD, I don’t remember, but we used to sing along with that music a lot in the early years of homeschooling.
