This week we are in Psalm 23:4a “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;”  This is where the psalmist changes to the first person, and it becomes more intimate somehow.  We will be asking the question, how does God’s presence with us allay our deepest fears and anxiety?  The emphasis is on the trustworthiness of God and not the gravity of our circumstance.  I’ll also spend some time breaking down the power of the ministry of presence if that helps.
