Confronting Our Fears

Known as the story of Jesus walking on the water and calls Peter out to join him on the stormy waters. Many have degraded Peter because he was walking and began to sink. The inference is Peter began to sink because he took his eyes off Jesus and lost faith. I give Peter kudos because he faced a fear and went out on faith to meet Jesus. How many of us have actually walked on water— if only a few steps?  I think the idea of facing our fears comes to mind. Many of us have unreasonable fears— phobias if you will. Some have fears because of previous experiences or being told we can do certain things. Facing our fears with the power of the One who tell us not to be afraid because he has overcome the world is a great comfort and motivator! Clearly, we all have doubts and fears. There can be a “ healthy amount of fear” especially in the times of a pandemic. We have been given brains and expected to use good judgment in making decisions. God is with us always is the take away and God will see us through our most fearful of times!
