Fear & Bedtime
🪔 Afraid beside 2 Samuel 17:2
When afraid is loud, 2 Samuel 17:2 is a sentence you can borrow. “I will come on him while he is weary and exhausted, and will make him afraid. All the people who are with him will flee. I will strike the king only,” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
