3 things to Remember when you Feel so Afraid
That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his…

Father God, Please help my Unbelief
Father, I can’t do this without you. There are times when my mind is full of doubts. What if things will not go well? What if the pain will not end? What if this mess grows bigger? I’m just so tired. I hear so many voices in my head telling me to give up and stop everything that I’m doing. I hear a whisper that says, I am worthless. I know you are there, but why can’t I feel you? Why can’t I feel your love? Where are you, Lord? I need your help. Please increase my faith. It seems like I’m on my own now. I’m so lonely and…

Stepping Outside the Boat
Shortly before dawn, Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on water, and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of…

God’s underserved love will Transform the way you see Yourself
The negative voices in your head, the doubts that you have in yourself, the lack of confidence, and the lies that you believe in all these things will cease when you receive God’s underserved love. It is called underserved because it’s impossible for us to repay it. His love is perfect and so deep that you can’t contain it. And even if you only receive a small portion of what He has for you, still, it’s more than enough for you to be transformed and renewed from within. This world will convince you to look for the kind of love that will satisfy your selfish desires, but it will only…

Offer what you have to Jesus, and you will receive more than enough
As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and…

Following your pride means you treat yourself as better than God
It takes a humble heart for humans to accept that they are nothing without God. Sometimes, we tend to follow our own ways, thinking that what we have in mind is right, but the truth is, God knows what’s best for us. So we need to stop relying on our own understanding. Instead, we must come to Him and ask for guidance. But sadly, people fail to consult Him because of pride. They think that they are wise and smart enough to face the circumstances in their life. If you happen to see yourself as someone who merely depends on your own wisdom, then this is a wake-up call for…
