"For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life." ~Psalm 56:13, NIV
David, David... he knew his stuff. The "you" in the above sentence is, of course, God. When afraid, we've already established it's good to remember what God has done in the past - be it your past or someone else's. David had a lot of examples from his own past to think of.
God had delivered him from physical death many times - just read 1 and 2 Samuel for some examples. But God also delivered "his feet from stumbling" - God helped David not to sin, so that he could live in God's good promises. Sin separates us from God and all of the courage and confidence that He offers, so to hear that God will help us make the right choices is a very encouraging thought. Be it choosing a college, a place to live, a spouse, God is with us and will help us when we trip up over our own feet.
