Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me Psalms 23:4(KJV)
Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I’m not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure. Psalms 23:4 (The Message)
Lord, it seems like death/destruction is crouching at my family’s door. Let not the secret plots of our enemies prevail. Expose every snare and every trick. Give us a spirit of discernment that we may know friend from foe. Despite the shadows we see or the whisperings we hear, we can rest securely because You are with us.

Hi Wanda,
As I read this post, I thought back to my childhood days and my fear of the dark. I hated to go in the bedroom and watch as my grandmother turned off the lights. I'm not sure what I expected to see in the shadows but I was certain it would get me.
When I finally learned that the danger was only in my thoughts, I no longer feared the darkened bedroom.
I'm much older now and yet, there are times when I find myself fearing the imposing shadows. The Holy Spirit reminds me of the promise of Jesus to never leave or forsake me.
I pray with you that our Lord give your family the discernment to disclose what lurks in the shadows. No matter what lurks there, God stands ready as your shield of protection.
Blessings and peace.
MTJ
