GODS COMFORT.... Many of us struggle with Fear.. It is a very uncomfortable emotion.. We would be happy to be rid of it.. It causes our hearts to race, Our focus to narrow, and terrible possibilities to enter our minds.. THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEART.. Did you know the longest distance we will travel in our lives is the distance between our minds and our hearts.. We wish we could banish fear from our hearts by sheer will power.. We wish we could simply stop feeling afraid.. Unfortunately fear is not dismissed so easily.. When God says Do not fear, it is not a command from an authority figure.. Rather, the words are spoken as words of comfort.. They are followed by a specific promise of Gods presence with us.. A loving parent speaks to a child who wakes from a nightmare with words such as, dont be afraid Im here with you, you are safe.. This is not a rejection of the childs fears.. It is not an instruction to do the impossible.. It is, rather, a promise of protection.. God comforts us in a way a loving parent comforts a frightened child.. God says to us, I know that you are afraid; but I also want you to know that I am here with you.. I will not leave you.. I will give you strength.. I will give you help.. I will hold you by the hand so that you will not fall.. God says I GOT THIS.. God when we feel afraid, help me to draw courage from Your presence.. .....................................................AMEN.....................................................
