Psalms to Pray When Life Gets Terrifying
Share
There are times in a person’s life when we don’t just need a hand — we need a full-scale rescue. Perhaps this has been your experience. You feel like you’re floundering in the water, your head barely able to stay above the waves, and one swift crash will take you down into the depths. You’re drowning, and there’s only one source for strength and assistance: God Himself.
When we are terrified and need God’s help, it can bring much comfort to pray some of the psalms that emphasize the awesome and amazing nature of the Lord, such as these:
And not only is He awesome, present, and fully capable, but He’s also a caring, compassionate, generous, and loving God who tends to all His children. Here are some verses that emphasize this:
Finally, after we have spent some empowering and comforting time praying psalms that uplift and underscore God’s caring, always-present, and awesome nature, it seems fitting to close by praying psalms that express the deep adoration we have for our Heavenly Father:
God is with us in the fire and in the storm. He can and He does step in to help. If you are experiencing a time of anguish, desperation, and pain, praying these psalms can help you focus on this and keep your faith high above your fears.
