Faith Over Fear: Anchoring Yourself in Psalm 56:3
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” — Psalm 56:3 (NIV)
How to Trust God When Fear Tries to Take Over
Fear has a way of showing up uninvited—whether it’s worry about the future, anxiety over a health diagnosis, or uncertainty in relationships. Psalm 56:3 offers a powerful and simple instruction: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.“ It doesn’t say if we are afraid—it says when—because fear is part of life. But it doesn’t have to rule our hearts.
Putting trust in God isn’t about pretending everything is okay. It’s about choosing to believe He’s still in control, even when things look shaky. When we shift our focus from our fear to His faithfulness, everything starts to realign.
Today, if fear is gripping your heart, pause. Whisper this verse aloud and remember—God is not only aware of your fear, He’s already standing in it with you.
Write down what you’re afraid of right now. Then surrender it to God in prayer. Let this scripture be your anchor today.
