I have to admit that I had fears not because of the bombardment but because of not being able to find a place we could afford to pay rent!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='background:white;font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>One day, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep; so, I sat down to figure out how I would overcome this fear.

If, by faith I am God’s child, according to His promises in the Bible, He will continue to take care of me. So, having these thoughts, I began singing, <b>“You are my hiding place, You always fill my heart with songs of deliverance, Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you!”</b> That was it, my fears were gone!
