Need urgent help? If you are in danger or thinking about hurting yourself, call your local emergency number (000 Australia, 111 New Zealand, 999 UK, 911 US/Canada, 112 Europe) or a trusted person. Faith can be a comfort; it is not a substitute for emergency care.

what is a psalm for when you are afraid

A comforting psalm to turn to when you are feeling afraid is Psalm 34:4, which says, "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." This verse reminds us that we can seek God in our moments of fear and that He is there to provide comfort and deliverance. Another beautiful psalm is Psalm 23, which speaks of the Lord as our shepherd, guiding us through dark valleys and assuring us that we need not fear. These passages can bring peace and reassurance in times of anxiety. Remember, it's always good to share your feelings with someone you trust, whether that's a family member, friend, or spiritual leader.
