Fear

"Then Jesus said to them, 'Why are you so frightened? Do you still have no faith?'" - Mark 4:40

Some times we need trials to tell us where we are with God. I write to you everyday about faith but even I can falter. I was scared about something today and contacted a friend of mine for advice. Her first question was, "do you believe in God?" She knew the answer to that question but asked so that I would realize my mistake in worrying and not entrusting God with my fears. She said the same thing to me that Jesus said to His apostles when they were out at sea during a storm. And the fact is that she is a 100% right in asking me this. If I have faith, that faith is proven true both in the big things and in the small things. Fear and faith cannot exist in the same person. There are things that can really worry us but the outcome is always positive if we put our trust in God.I believe God can understand our fears. Afterall, He sent His only son to become human and live among us with the same joys, worries, and sorrows we experience. Fear exists and can creep into us but we should always try to keep it away from our minds before it seeps into our hearts. In my case, the Lord put my friend in my path to snap me out of it. I know better and my faith is better than that. I hope you also take steps to encourage someone else's faith and not let them walk in fear.

Today's Prayer:
Lord Jesus, forgive me for allowing fear to enter my heart and mind before I fully put my trust in You today. Thank You for the people You put in my path to lead me back to Your truth. In Your Name we pray, amen.
