A Prayer for the Fearful

Psalm 91 | Sermon Resources | 3 August 2025

We welcome to the pulpit, Tyler Brown, who is transitioning this summer from his role as campus staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship to the role of church planter in Newark.  

Summary

We live in a world driven by fear. Our society moves with the constant background noise of worry and anxiety. As we study the Psalms this summer, seeking to learn how to pray, Psalm 91 gives us guidance for how to pray to God when we’re afraid. 

Discussion Questions

  1. What is your greatest fear? Is there a worst case scenario that frequently pops in your mind? 
  2. What is an abiding fear for you? What worries and anxieties always linger in your day to day life?
  3. How would you pray Psalm 91:2 in your own words? 
  4. Who are people in your life that encourage you when you are afraid? If no one comes to mind, how might you build these relationships?
  5. How does the devil twist the promises of this Psalm? 
  6. How does the fact that God “holds you fast in love” comfort you in the midst of fear?
