So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 13.6
The fear is an inconsistent feeling that freezes our actions. It is always related to our unknown and uncertain future, by that the anxiety is installed destroying our forces. The confidence declared in this verse is not self-confidence. It is total dependence on God. He is my only one Helper and, consequently, I will not fear!
I will depend on HIM even if I don't understand nothing about what is happening today or will come tomorrow. Today I am going to depend on HIM with my whole heart, with all my force and understanding.
The next part of the text goes further and asks: What can man do to me? Interesting!
The fear of everything takes us to fear our friends, relatives, parents, companions of work, pastors, leaders, rulers, etc. What of worse someone will be able to do to me? Kill me? Therefore the confidence on HIM declares that "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." (Philippians 1.21).

What can man do to me? If they will do me the worst, I will be still in the hands of God.
Trust on HIM.
Today it is a pretty day that HE gave to you!
