Fear invades the thoughts of a wife as she worries about her husband’s fidelity.

It grips the heart of a child fearful of not fitting in and being accepted.

It paralyzes a father trying to make ends meet and wondering how they’ll survive.

Doubt of God’s faithfulness keeps believers distant and struggling to trust His promises when haunted by fear. Yet paralyzed with uncertainty, there is only one hope for heart restoration and peace.
