Today’s Reading:
Genesis 32:3–21 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Jacob was in great fear and distress…”
(Genesis 32:7)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Doubts and Fears: Fears

A Thought for Today

Fear can feel overwhelming in uncertain moments.

What This Means for Us Today

Jacob faced a situation he could not control.

His fear was real and pressing.

Yet even in fear, he reached out to God.

Fear does not prevent us from seeking Him.

Carry This With You

Turn to God in moments of fear.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, meet me in my fear.
Help me to trust in You.

Today’s Invitation

Bring your fears honestly before God today.
