Application

Jesus is my safe place, when I am scared, in trouble, or experiencing danger, I can run to Him.  I do not have to be overcome with fear, worry, and anxiety.  Jesus is my protection, my defender, my guard.  My security is in my relationship with God so I will not fear man or what man can do to me.  They may kill my body but my spirit will go to heaven.  In the end, I am safe in his arms.
