Put your hope in God.... —Psalm 42:5 (NIV)
“What if this happens again?”
That’s the fearful question I carried around in my heart after my husband
As I remember back four years ago to the terrible day that terrorists attacked our country, I ask myself:
What if... terrorists strike again?
What if... another plane gets hijacked?
What if... something like this happens to me or someone I love?
As I ask myself these questions, I remember what I kept repeating when similar “What if...?” questions plagued me after
Even if... I have to face my worst fear, God is still in control.
Even if... things don’t turn out the way I want, God’s love is still sufficient.
Even if... ____(write your fear here)_________, God’s promises are still true.
For every “What if...?” fear, Father, remind me of your “Even if...” promise.
—Carol Kuykendall
