“The Lord is my light and my salvation–whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life–of whom shall I be afraid” (Psalms 27:1).
I chose this verse because I believe that if I keep Jesus as the focus of my life, He will lead me on the right path, and always keep me safe from the evils of this world.
I believe He will keep the darkness out, and be my light. I know that I am a sinner, and often I head toward darkness. But I know the Holy Spirit is going to remind me that I need to turn to Jesus. The Holy Spirit will guide me to pray and change my behavior so I can continue to walk unafraid with God the Father.

My verse also reminds me that I do not need to fear death. I know this because Jesus died on the cross to take away the darkness and pain, and He replaces it with light and salvation.
I take comfort in knowing that Christ went through the darkness and suffering just to save someone like me, a sinner. This verse helps me remember that Jesus will protect me from evil and darkness, and someday I will be safe in God the Father’s kingdom.

This verse helps me trust in Jesus, and remain faithful to His word. I believe in the promise Jesus made to me for salvation and everlasting life. It is Him I will turn to for my comfort and security.
