Speaker 1 (00:39):
Lord, You knew we would face seasons of uncertainty, trials
that shake us, in storms that make our hearts heavy.
Yet you gave us this command not as a suggestion,
but as an anchor that we do not have to
live in fear or terror, for our trust is in you, Father.
There are so many reasons our hearts could be troubled.

Financial struggles, broken relationships, sickness, grief, decisions that feel too
