--

"Put your trust in the Lord" - how repeatedly in Scripture this command is given, in one way or another. Expect Him to defend you from fear itself, from an endless raising of "what ifs" and "but, Lords." Let you imagination come to rest in His Word of promise. Don't let it moil in the frightening possibilities - there will be plenty of grace at hand if any of those should come to pass, and that's really all that matters. God on with the work God has given you. He will "defend and deliver." Go on in peace.

Elisabeth Elliot
