Bible Verse of The Day – 11-9-24

Psalm 34:4 (NKJV) 4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

I once was so fearful in my life. I trembled at being alone.

I was so afraid that one time, as I was down in my basement doing laundry, I heard something and I froze.

I was running water at the time. And because I froze and became distracted by what I heard, the water overflowed onto the floor, snapping me out of my frozen position.

Being afraid is not good. The enemy will use it to “freeze” us, symbolically speaking. He will keep us as believers in one place if he can.

I prayed to God and asked Him to help me overcome my fear of being alone. I waited and sought Him for deliverance from such a thing.

During an evening service in church sometime later, the Pastor gave an altar call. I happened to be sitting in the front row that night.

When he encouraged anyone who needs prayer to come forward, I knew I needed prayer, and I so wanted to take the few steps to get up there.

But I was frozen. Again I could not move.

My legs would not move. And as the Pastor began to pray for others, I remained there, wanting so badly to take those steps forward.

When he had finished praying for all those up front, he was led to come over and pray for me. Only God knew.

And that night I was delivered. Fear left me. Thank you, Jesus Christ!

Did I have to remind myself whenever fear would try to attack me again? Yes. And I did!

I will no longer be afraid of being alone. God has delivered me!

Psalm 145:18 (NKJV) 18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

He is always near. Amen.
