Fear & Bedtime
🕊️ Afraid beside Genesis 26:7
When afraid is loud, Genesis 26:7 is a sentence you can borrow. “The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife”, lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
