Interviewer: So, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to write Psalm 56:4?
Author: Well, I was going through a difficult time in my life and I felt like I was constantly being attacked by my enemies. I found myself feeling afraid and anxious all the time.
Interviewer: That sounds really tough. How did you cope with those feelings?
Author: I turned to God. I knew that he was the one who could give me the strength and courage to get through that difficult time. And so, one day I just sat down and started writing out my prayers and thoughts.
Interviewer: And that’s how Psalm 56:4 came to be?
Author: Yes, exactly. As I wrote, I felt like God was speaking to me and giving me the words to say. And when I read it back, I knew that it was something that would help others who were going through similar struggles.
Interviewer: Can you share the verse with us?
Author: Sure. It goes like this: “In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Interviewer: That’s really powerful. What does it mean to you?
Author: To me, it means that no matter what happens in life, if we put our trust in God, we can face anything with courage and strength. Our enemies might try to harm us, but ultimately, they can’t do anything that God doesn’t allow. And so, we don’t need to be afraid of them.
Interviewer: Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Author: Just that I hope that this Psalm will be a source of comfort and strength to anyone who is feeling afraid or anxious. God is with us always, and if we trust in him, he will never leave us or forsake us.
