Why, oh why are we afraid?
I have always had problems with fear and anxiety, but have learned to cope and live with it. I was wanting to write something when the words ‘Faith like a Child’ kept running through my head. I finally decided to get it down on paper.
The Bible says we need to have faith like a child. I can’t find where it is, if you know let me know! Anyways a couple places Jesus talks about faith are in the Gospel books when miracles and parables happen. Once when He and his diciples were on the sea of Galiee……and there came a storm and they woke Jesus. He settled the waves and then turned to them and said, “Why are you so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?”
Again He approched the subject faith but in another view this time. He talks about it in the story about the woman washing Jesus’ feet with her hair and oil. Simon Peter gets after her, but Jesus said, “Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.” There he was saying that we had faith or at least some of us.
Soon after that He again approached the subject of faith the way he did the first time. It was the time that He walked on the water and Peter walked out to him and then after they were in the boat and Peter rescued:) he said to them, “Where is your faith?”
So through this we can know that in the beginning the discples weren’t that great either:) But we need to reallly remember just like a child has no worries because he knows his parents will care for him we need to remember that God will take care of us no matter what the case. And we don’t need to have any worries at all. Thank you God!!
Writing this reminds me of the song ‘God will take care of you’
