I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:5

Psalm 34 does not say that the Lord delivers us from all dangers, temptations, or evildoers. The Lord delivers us from our own fears. We are afraid of danger, temptation, and evil people—that is our flaw. We don’t pray rightly; rather, we pray for the world as it exists to be different. We ought to pray that we are different, not the world. We need to pray for fearlessness no matter what the world throws at us.
