Fear

Is it wrong to be afraid? Is it sinful? Maybe, but put these questions on hold. The emphasis in Scripture is, "When I am afraid, I will trust in you" (Ps 56:3). The issue isn't so much whether or not we are afraid and worry. Scripture assumes that we will be afraid and anxious at times. What is important is where we turn, or to whom we turn when we are afraid.
