Although we might
not want to admit it we are often afraid of something in our lives. It might be
a bully, a bill collector, a loss of our health, the death of a loved one, or
any other problems caused by our choices or out of our control. These anxious
moments offer a choice whenever we are faced with them: fight or flight. We can
let our fears overwhelm us and run away from the problem or we can stand up to
them and face them down. This is much easier said than done, but if we truly
believe in Jesus Christ, then we have no excuse to be afraid as long as we
chose to do the right thing.
When was the last
time you were afraid and what was it? Did you pray about it and seek strength
from your faith? How can we learn to be not afraid from this and other moments
of fear in our lives?
O Lord, we are
fearful, make us brave in you. We are weak, make us strong by you. We are running
away, make us stand with you.
Amen.
