Deus é refúgio
O Senhor é a minha luz e minha salvação — de quem terei medo? Ele é fortaleza da minha vida — de quem me recearei?
Confiar e não temer
Quando o medo chegar, confie em Deus. O Senhor é escudo e refúgio — Ele acalma tempestades e silencia todo medo.
Não temas — Eu estou contigo
Deus repete: não temas, porque eu sou contigo. Ele segura nossa mão direita e nos fortalece em cada situação de medo.
