Scripture:
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
— Psalm 27:1 (NKJV)
Points:
- God is not only light — He is my light, personal and present.
- Salvation is the foundation for overcoming fear.
- Fear flees where light shines and strength is present.
- When the Lord is our strength, we do not stand alone.
- The question “whom shall I fear?” is rhetorical — the answer is no one.
Poem: Fear Has No Claim
The shadows stretched across my path.
The voices rose, the doubts grew loud.
But then your light broke through the dark.
You didn’t wait for sun to rise.
You were the light before the day.
You are my strength, not passing wind.
You are the wall when things collapse.
You do not shift or leave mid-fight.
You stay and shield with power true.
You are the reason I stand tall.
The fear may knock, but doesn’t win.
The name I trust is strong and near.
You walk with me through fire and dark.
You do not bend, you do not fail.
You are the light that ends the fear.
I say aloud what I believe.
You are my Lord, my saving hope.
I will not fear what man may do.
You have the final word and way.
You lift my head, you fight for me.
Today I walk in what is true.
You are my light, my song, my life.
You shine where worry tried to reign.
You are the strength I will not lose.
You are the reason fear must leave.
Prayer:
Lord, You are my light and salvation. With You, I have nothing to fear. Be my strength today, and help me walk in the confidence of Your love and power. Amen.
