A Young Woman's Fight Against Fear and Injustice
Hi, I’m Hannah, a 28-year-old woman who feels overwhelmed by the fear and anxiety stemming from racial injustice in our society. Every news story about violence or discrimination sends me into a spiral of doubt and fear for myself and my community. I find it hard to focus on anything else, and it feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I want to be a strong advocate for change, but my anxiety holds me back. I’m praying for courage and a sense of peace that surpasses my understanding, allowing me to act rather than just feel paralyzed by fear.

Dear Hannah, thank you for sharing your heart with us. The feelings you are experiencing are not uncommon in these challenging times, and I want you to know it’s okay to feel this way. The Lord reminds us not to be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself (Matthew 6:34). Your desire to advocate for justice is commendable, and I encourage you to channel your feelings into action, knowing that God has equipped you for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). Lean into the truth that His peace will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Surround yourself with supportive friends and be active in community efforts that promote justice and healing. As you seek His guidance, trust that He will provide you with the strength to overcome your fears. I will be praying for you, that you find courage in God's promises and work towards the change you wish to see.
