What to Do When You’re Afraid — Finding Peace in God’s Presence | Psalm 34Fear is normal. Every one of us deals with it — fear of trouble, fear of not having enough, fear of danger, fear of what tomorrow holds. But you don’t have to stay there. In this powerful message from Big Valley Grace Community Church, we walk through Psalm 34, where King David — a man on the run for his life, hiding in enemy territory, afraid and desperate — shows us exactly what to do with fear.David was in the city of Gath, Goliath’s hometown, recognized and in danger, with nowhere left to turn. And yet Psalm 34 opens with worship. How? Because David knew the secret: fear leads to prayer, and prayer leads to the presence of God — and in his presence, everything changes.This message addresses the fears we all carry but rarely say out loud: financial fears, fear of losing what matters most, fear of real danger, and the deep fear that we’re not going to be okay. Whether your fear came on slowly or hit you all at once, God has a solution — and it’s not a strategy or a self-help plan. It’s a person. It’s Jesus.Discover what it means to seek the Lord, look to him, cry out to him, and find that he is near to the brokenhearted — and that his perfect love casts out fear.#Psalm34 #FearNotBibleVerse #BigValleyGrace #TrustingGod #OvercomingFear
