A crisis can be menacing and cast a shadow of fear over your entire life. But God is far bigger and more powerful than any threat, real or perceived. Review who God really is, and know that this is the God who is with you now (see “God’s Majestic Attributes”).
Then read the Bible verses below that talk about his majesty (see “God’s Majesty in Scripture”). Fill your mind with God’s words. Declare these truths back to him in prayer.
