There are days when our world feels increasingly dangerous – and small!
Even those who have not witnessed acts of terrorism or violence first hand, or who have not lived through a dramatic natural disaster and its consequences, are made aware of the tragic cost and painful aftermath through the ever present media.
These experiences have a profound effect on each one of us, often bringing feelings of fear, anxiety, helplessness or abandonment. Trained caregivers tell us that these emotions, accompanied by some very physical symptoms – recurring nightmares, panic attacks, difficulty in concentrating, nervousness at sudden noises, difficulty in establishing relationships and hypervigilance (a heightened sense of awareness) – can be indications of post traumatic stress disorder. If this is what you are living, you should take comfort in the fact that these are very normal reactions and that your struggles are real. Taking the brave step of seeking support from a trained counsellor, and perhaps a few close friends, will in turn help you to be a solace to loved ones who may also be suffering with you.
In the midst of your fears, you also need to know that God is with you – comforting and strengthening you, and assuring you with words that are repeated frequently throughout the Bible: “Don’t be afraid!”
This Scripture booklet contains a selection of some of the best loved words of comfort and assurance from the Bible that we pray will remind you about the love of a God who promises never to let go or abandon you.
