I wouldn't let on to the kids, but I felt insecure the year Gale was overseas with the Air Force. Chris was in first grade and Penny was four. We had just moved to a rural area west of Little Rock.
One night while watching TV we heard noises outside the windows. Someone was out there. I started praying and assured Chris and Penny that God put an angel at our front door outside and nothing could harm us. I had to believe it and I think they did. We later learned it was some ornery boys in the neighborhood trying to scare us.
You don't have to be afraid of anything.
Psalm 91:4-7 He shall cover thee with His feathers and under his wings shalt thou trust; His trust shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
