Fear & Bedtime
💧 Afraid beside Judges 8:20
When afraid is loud, Judges 8:20 is a sentence you can borrow. “He said to Jether his firstborn, “Get up, and kill them!” But the youth didn’t draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.
