Fear & Bedtime
🎺 Afraid beside Joshua 1:9
When afraid is loud, Joshua 1:9 is a sentence you can borrow. “Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
