  • They Shall Not Come Near You

    A Psalm 91 devotional

    “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.” – Psalm 91:7

    Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are moments when it seems like the pressures are closing in from every direction, left, right, forward, and backward. You may feel surrounded by battles, enemies, or invisible forces clothed in black. But here’s the truth: the Word of God is unshakable.

    God has promised that even though thousands may gather against you, they will not prevail. Whatever schemes the enemy tries, they cannot stand.



    1. God’s Promise Still Stands

    Psalm 91 isn’t just poetry, it’s a covenant of protection. God reminds us that though the enemy comes in like a flood, His Spirit raises a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

    You are not outnumbered, no matter how many rise against you. One with God is the majority.



    2. God Is With You in the Valley

    Sometimes the valley feels dark, but Psalm 23 gives us confidence:
    “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me.”

    Shadows cannot kill. Storms cannot drown you. Attacks cannot consume you. Why? Because the Shepherd is right there, guiding and comforting you.



    3. Victory Belongs to You

    Here’s a secret the Lord revealed to me during my own spiritual battles:
    The enemy’s greatest weapon is fear.

    Fear makes you forget God’s presence. Fear weakens faith. But the moment you let go of fear and hold onto faith, the enemy loses his grip.

    Victory starts in the mind. When you know deep inside that God has already secured your future, the enemy trembles, because he knows he’s fighting a losing battle.



    4. God Prepares a Table Before You

    Psalm 23:5 says:
    “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”

    This means God doesn’t always remove your enemies; sometimes He blesses you right in front of them. Your testimony becomes a message all by itself.



    A Word of Encouragement

    If you are in a season where the battles feel intense, take heart. The intensity means you are close to victory. The enemy is throwing all he has at you because he knows your breakthrough is near.

    So don’t give up now. Don’t let fear steal your faith. Stand firm in God’s promises.



    Declaration Prayer

    “Father, I thank You that though a thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, it shall not come near me. I renounce fear and embrace faith. I declare that every plan of the enemy is destroyed and that I walk in victory, peace, and divine protection. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

  • Overcoming Fear and Anxiety Through Scripture

    Have You Ever Felt So Anxious That It Was Hard to Even Breathe Properly?

    I have. Many times, in fact.

    There have been nights when I’ve laid awake staring at the ceiling, heart pounding, thoughts racing like a train I couldn’t stop. Fear gripped me—fear of the unknown, fear of not being enough, fear of what tomorrow might hold.

    I’ve had moments where anxiety whispered lies into my ears, convincing me that things would never get better. That I wasn’t strong enough. That I was alone.

    But let me tell you something that has changed everything for me: the Word of God.

    My Personal Journey with Fear

    There was a particular season when everything around me felt uncertain. I had just become a mother again, and I was battling exhaustion, health worries, marital problems and the overwhelming pressure of managing my home, dreams, and responsibilities.

    One evening, I remember walking into the bathroom, locking the door behind me, sitting on the edge of the tub, and just weeping. Not soft tears—but deep, guttural sobs.

    I cried out, “God, I’m scared. What if I fail? What if I let everyone down?”

    And in that moment, the Holy Spirit gently reminded me of a scripture I had read countless times:

    > “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

    This verse transformed my subconscious and saved my life.

    God was saying, “This fear? It’s not from Me. I have given you power. I have given you peace.”

    Scriptures That Have Anchored Me

    I want to share a few verses that helped me break free from fear’s grip and step into God’s peace.

    1. Isaiah 41:10

    > “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you…”

    This verse reminded me that I am never alone. Even when life feels overwhelming, God is right beside me, strengthening me moment by moment.

    2. Philippians 4:6-7

    > “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God…”

    This scripture became my daily weapon. Instead of panicking, I began praying. I poured out my worries in prayer, and little by little, God replaced them with His peace.

    —

    3. Psalm 34:4

    > “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”

    That was me. I sought Him—and He answered. My fears didn’t always disappear overnight, but their power over me was broken.

    How I Fight Fear Today

    Fear still tries to creep in. I still face moments of uncertainty. But now I respond differently:

    I speak scripture out loud over myself and my home.

    I worship, even when I don’t feel like it.

    I pray honestly—as if God is sitting right next to me (because He is).

    I remind myself of His faithfulness in the past.

    Every time fear rises, I raise my faith higher.

    If You’re Struggling Today…

    I want you to know: you’re not alone.

    God sees you. He hears even your silent tears. And He is bigger than whatever you’re facing right now.

    Start small. Choose one scripture. Write it down. Speak it over yourself every day. Let the Word of God drown out the voice of anxiety.

    God’s Word isn’t just beautiful—it’s powerful.

    A Prayer for You

    Heavenly Father,
    I lift up every person reading this who is battling fear or anxiety. Let Your peace wash over them right now. Silence every lie of the enemy and replace it with Your truth. Remind them that they are not alone. That You are with them. That You are for them. Fill their hearts with courage, and their minds with calm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
