from Psalm 46
Jesus promises peace. He tells His disciples not to fear. Yet, the world in which we live offers no shortage of reasons to be anxious, afraid, and frustrated. These responses to the reality of the brokenness in this world are not new. Humanity has been bearing this weight since sin entered the world, and the promises of God’s presence have been there since the start.
For these three weeks we will look at the Psalms, the prayer book of God’s people, and consider what God’s promises and presence might mean for us in a world full of anxiety…perhaps rather than focus on our reasons for worry, we might adopt instead a posture of peace.
