Why Am I So Afraid?

Scripture: Matthew 8:26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Observation: Jesus most say that to me every day. I wake up in the morning and take a walk and pray, but my first words are of fear and a desire to be home with Him instead of facing the trials here on earth. God blesses me each day and guides me through it, yet during the course of the day I feel anxiety and worry for no reason. I wonder how much that hurts my God that has given me everything to have so little faith that I don’t want to go on at times.

Application: I’m only here because God allows me to be. He has saved my life so many times and made sure I made it to the point where I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I need to live my life for Him and fulfill the purpose that He created me for using those gifts and testimony so others don’t have to suffer the fate of Hell.

Prayer: Dear Lord please forgive your servant of the lack of faith I have. Increase my faith as your apostles asked of you and give me the strength do to your will in my life I want to come home to you with open arms and not with my head hanging down in shame.
