📖 Fear beside Genesis 9:2
When fear is loud, Genesis 9:2 is a sentence you can borrow. “The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that moves along the ground, and all the fish of the sea, are delivered into your hand.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Genesis 9:2 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
