Afraid of the sun? Apply prayer!

Estey Silva

Have you noticed how much news coverage has been given to the sun lately? Even so early in the summer (in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway) there are stories about expected heat waves, causing widespread fears about adequate sun protection. Combine that with increased media attention about the importance of sunscreen to protect one’s skin, and you have a very hot topic!

Last summer I wondered, “What can I do to combat fear about the sun?” I decided to turn to prayer. I’ve found that prayer can and does calm fears about the sun, replacing them with the confident assurance that God is in control.
