Do you want to be free from anxiety & worry? We can learn how from the life of David. He directed all his “fear” to the Lord. He developed that “fear” by spending years of his life in a field worshiping and when you look to God like that you develop a deep sense of reverence that is the “fear of God”. When all your “fear” is directed towards God you will have no room left to fear anything or anyone else.
