FEAR

Mathew10: 27 – 31

When I was a little boy, if I became afraid, I would cry out for my mother or my father. They knew where I was and would come to my side letting me know that they were there, and give me comfort.
Now that I am an adult, I go to my heavenly Father, who gives great comfort.
The other day I wrote about being honest in our prayers to God, I guess we have to talk about giving our fears over to God in prayer too.
God wants everything, good or bad. E watches over us day by day and knows our every move, so why hide from him. Rely on God to relieve our fears, give them over to him in prayer.

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

When we face difficult circumstances, fear may cause us to wonder if God is aware of our situation. Jesus’ teaching assures us that God cares deeply and is in control.
