The events following September 11th have instilled a deep fear of the unknown in the American psyche. The nation now grapples with insecurity, no longer feeling safe within its borders, guarded by the Atlantic and Pacific, and neighboring countries. This fear stems from terrorist attacks and subsequent threats happening on home soil, shattering the illusion of isolation and invulnerability. Americans tremble at the risk that now pervades their lives, a stark contrast to the carefree ignorance of global realities they once held. This fear and uncertainty are shocking, disturbing, and for many, deeply depressing, forging a kinship with peoples like the Israelis, Kosovars, and Kurds who live under constant threat. Yet, there is a remedy for this fear of the unknown through a proper reverence for God. Understanding the vast difference between His greatness and our insignificance provides a perspective that leads to life and satisfaction. By acknowledging that God is in control, we find assurance that everything happens for our good, freeing us from the stresses and worries that plague the world. His promise to keep us from evil, as seen in Psalm 91, allows us to live without the burden of fear. God teaches us the way that benefits us most, leading us with love as our Redeemer. If we follow His commandments, He promises peace like a river, overwhelming any fears or anxieties. This peace, as taught by our Savior in the Sermon on the Mount, comes from prioritizing the Kingdom of God. By seeking His righteousness first, He takes care of our needs, ensuring that we face life's uncertainties with faith, not fear. His assurance in Romans 8:28, that all things work for the good of those who love Him, reinforces this trust. Through prayer, we can cast our fears upon God, leaving our burdens at His throne. His peace guards our hearts and minds, not only soothing current anxieties but also protecting against future stresses. This peace stems from knowing that He cares for us deeply, as a father cares for a child, and is always working for our ultimate good. Even amidst suffering, which He uses to perfect and strengthen us, we can face the unknown with the right perspective, confident that He will make everything better than all right in the end.
