The Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions of Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for sunday, 13 August 2017 "Worry and Fear (2)" Bible Reading: Psalm 55:20-23
Psalm 55:20 (19) God will hear and will humble them,
yes, he who has sat on his throne from the start. (Selah)
For they never change,
and they don’t fear God.
21 (20) [My companion] attacked those
who were at peace with him;
he broke his solemn word.
22 (21) What he said sounded smoother than butter,
but his heart was at war.
His words seemed more soothing than oil,
but in fact they were sharp swords.
23 (22) Unload your burden on Adonai,
and he will sustain you.
He will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
24 (23) But you will bring them down, God,
into the deepest pit.
Those men, so bloodthirsty and treacherous,
will not live out half their days.
But for my part, [Adonai,]
I put my trust in you.

Many times we worry about what others think or say about us. It really hurts us when our friends lie about us or spread gossip. I know people who cannot sleep at night because they are worrying about their reputation.
Our Bible verses today have good advice for people who worry. Verse 22 says, "Give your worries to the Lord, and he will care for you. He will never let those who are good be defeated." The devil is happy when we are afraid and worried. He wants to take away our peace and happiness. The devil doesn't want us to trust God.
God loves us and always wants the best for us. When we give our worries to Him, we can be happy and peaceful again. When people hurt us or say bad things about us, God will be with us and help us be strong.
Are you worried or afraid today? Trust God to take care of you and fill you with His love and peace.
"Don't worry about anything,
but pray and ask God for
everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have."
[Philippians 4:6]
PRAYER: Lord, please forgive me for worrying. I choose to trust You every day. In Jesus' name. Amen.
