I know that going forth serving the Lord can sometimes be scary, but the Lord will watch out for anyone who is on His errand. It does not matter if that person is a Priest or Priestess, nor does it matter if that person is an Elder, Seventy, or Apostle, etc., for the Lord to reach out and protect and prosper His servant!
I love this quote from Wilford Woodruff:
"I traveled thousands of miles and preached the Gospel as a Priest, and, as I have said to congregations before, the Lord sustained me and made manifest His power in the defense of my life as much while I held that office as He has done while I have held the office as an Apostle."
So, do not fear. Go forth without fear in the service of God. Fulfill your callings, and the duties of the priesthood, and build up the Kingdom of God without fear, and without worry!

Fear is a topic we seem to discuss often in our little group. All our lives we are taught to be afraid, be careful, don't do that, etc. We are being taught by the Spirit that we need not fear anything or anyone. The recent fear mongering with this covid hype is a good example. We haven't "bought" into it, and pretty much life is fine. It is especially important to not fear when the Lord asks us to do things and to trust Him to unfold it to us. He is truly wonderful and can be trusted with everything! Irene
