But it does mean that leaning on the Lord and trusting in His Help, I will be given the strength, faith, and courage I need to get through it all"

...It was those who looked to the person of Christ who were given the fortitude to withstand the physical and psychological pressures that were mercilessly meted out to them. And this is the great gift of the wounded heart of Christ to his friends, that they should be faithful through the storms of destruction that rage around them, that they should remain steadfast even though the tempests come and the blackest of black encompass them. ...
...."This is pretty radical trust. It means we agree to let God be God and not try to play God ourselves. This thought is crucial because basically there are two root sins we humans tend to commit. One is to make God out to be like us and two, to make ourselves out to be like God. As one biblical scholar put it, 'The core of sin is not our failure to adequately value ourselves but our refusals to adequately value God.'"...
Jesus, You take care of this...being weak humans who have an innate propensity to do our own thing, it is often hard to let go—even of our problems—to the Lord. But Jesus responds, "I wait for you. I want to listen to the cares and preoccupations that you carry like a heavy burden. Give them all to Me. Trust in Me and I will act. I have told you this before: for me nothing is insignificant."
Facing our Fears....We just can't do it alone! Yes, it is only through the trusting embrace of the cross of Christ that we come to understand what true peace is and this doesn’t guarantee the elimination of all fear, but it does give us a supernatural entry into God’s heart.
