But immediately,
He spoke to them and said,
"Take heart. It is I.
Do not be afraid."
And He got into
the boat with them,
and the wind ceased.
Mark 6. 50-51
For the 40 days of Lent this year,
I am giving up fear and anxiety.
And while it seems at first
to invite even more worries,
God is leading me through,
how to respond differently
when they rush through the door
and take up every chair in my heart.
When we take Jesus at His word,
"Hey, I'm right here.
Do not be afraid,"
the wind ceases
and He brings His peace to it.
O LORD,
We are caught in storms
and struggles
and what in the world
is going on?
And You assure us,
it is You working
something mighty here
of which we are unaware.
Help us to trust You in it
and not be afraid of it.
Because fear distracts us,
and we miss out
on Your wonders here.
