“Jesus was speaking to His disciples, but He was also speaking to you when He asked, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Trust is a primary component of faith, but too often fear is a first response, not faith. Burdens become personal, not shared. Outcomes include best efforts, not God’s help.”

“Our God is a God of order and sense. He knows infinitely more than we can ever hope to, and He shares His knowledge with us to help us through our lives. If we can learn to be obedient to the will of God, we will find that life becomes a little easier to live … and a lot more fulfilling. Life ceases to be such a struggle, and it becomes a joy. God sent Christ to fight the battle for us. He became the victor—our victor. To His disciples Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.” He says the same to us. If we can learn to be more obedient to God, His peace and assurance will be ours throughout our entire lives.”
