Fear & Bedtime
☀️ Afraid beside 1 Samuel 23:17
When afraid is loud, 1 Samuel 23:17 is a sentence you can borrow. “He said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
