Fear & Bedtime
🪨 Afraid beside Joshua 8:1
When afraid is loud, Joshua 8:1 is a sentence you can borrow. “Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed. Take all the warriors with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Joshua 8:1 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
