As a child of God, your responsibility is to your heavenly Father.
He takes care of you in all your ways.
There is nothing he will not do for you.

Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt; for yet a very little while and the indignation shall be accomplished, and mine anger, in their destruction.

Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything, of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread. Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your dread. Isaiah 8 verses 12 and 13.
They are some who live in constant fear while delighting to plot against you.

They ride a slippery slope and quickly give in to paranoia as they go about living.
Don’t be like this lot so easily swayed and give in to the feeling of dread.
Remember you have a sanctuary in God.
Reverence Him and let Him work for you.

He has you secured.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Proverbs 3 verse 24
I grow weary.
Fatigue seeps deep into my bones while my eyes threaten to close.

I am safe cocooned in the confidence of God’s promise to stay with me.

Great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 119 verse 165
There is no peace when we are surrounded by strife, poverty, and violence.
To have a little solace in our private space is something elusive.
If we cannot have it we decide to create our own brand of comfort and race toward that ultimate goal.
Hooked on the rush of the moment, that sense of euphoria we run the mill like rats on a wheel moving over and over again until we tear off the routine, the same old, same old when things grow stale or we become too weary to go on.
Unaccommodated, stripped of all the trappings of society left alone with the nakedness of our emotions, we are now ready.
Ready to enter into a place of quietness where God is our focus.
In his presence, there is no censor, no criticism.
We learn of true peace.
We learn there is rest and we delight in his word.
