As we enter trying experiences, as fears arise, as anxiety threatens our joy, we can have absolute confidence in Christ. He is the one in charge, and He knows what He is doing. The answer to the fears in our life is faith—faith that Jesus is there in the storms of life and will take us through any situation and get us out the other side. Fear is an emotion. Faith is an attitude, and focus is a choice.⠀

In Matthew 14:25, 26, the scripture says, “Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out for fear.” The Greek word for “fear” translated in verse 26 is an extremely strong word. It can be better translated “terrified.” Here is the problem. The disciples feared what they did not know. They saw what they thought was a ghost. Belief in evil spirits was common in first-century Palestine. The idea of ghosts, goblins, and phantoms was widespread. These disciples had spent years with Jesus, but in a time of storm their fears overtook their rational thinking processes.

The unknown often creates fear, and the problem is that sometimes our worst fears come true. There are those who say, “Don’t worry about it. Everything is going to be OK.” But you and I know that everything may not always turn out as we desire, so we play the “what if” game: What if I do have cancer? How will I handle it if my physician tells me I must begin treatment immediately? My husband was not home for supper at 5:00 p.m., and it is 7:00 p.m., and he has not called. What if he has been in an accident? My company is making severe cutbacks. What if I lose my job and can’t pay my bills? My teenage son is on a camping trip. It has been three days, and he has not called. What if he is lost in the mountains?

The “what if” questions must give way to the voice of Christ, who proclaims in the midst of the raging sea, the blowing winds, and the overwhelming darkness, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid” (verse 27). Have you ever noticed how many times Jesus says, “Be of good cheer”? Throughout the Gospels Jesus uses the expressions “Be of good cheer” and “Do not be afraid” repeatedly...

When I am afraid I will put my trust in You. —Psalm 56:3⠀

"The Sea of Galilee is about 13 miles long and eight miles wide. At times fierce winds blow in and quickly turn the once-calm sea into a torrent of raging fury. As Jesus’ disciples crossed the sea on a starlit night, the waters were calm. Suddenly inky-black clouds filled the sky. The winds whipped the waves into a fury. Huge waves crashed against the boat. Matthew’s Gospel puts it this way: “But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea” (Matthew 14:24, 25). The fourth watch of the night is between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. in the morning. They set sail in the early evening. They could have made it across the sea in two or three hours, but they battled the wind and waves for eight long hours. Evidently the wind blew against them, and they were no closer to their destination than when they started. They were weary, tired, and exhausted. They felt they could battle no longer. Their strength was gone. There are times in life when the battle is fierce. The storms rage all around us, and we are so exhausted with the battle that we feel we cannot fight any longer. Here is the incredible good news.⠀
⠀
"Where was Jesus during this time? What was He doing during their intense struggle? He was praying for them. He was asking the Father to increase their faith, to give them strength to face the storm, to give them the courage to go on. Jesus knew what they did not know: the cross was coming, and the storm that they were going through now would increase their faith for what would lie ahead. In the storms of life that we face daily, Jesus is preparing us for greater crises that will break upon our world in the future.⠀
⠀
"The disciples saw the storm; Jesus saw them. Their eyes were fixed upon the waves; Jesus’ eyes were fixed upon them. To the disciples everything seemed out of control, but Jesus was still in control. Amid the storms of life His eyes are upon us. When the thunder roars and the waves are high, He is still mighty to save. In the darkness He is our light of life." Hope for Troubled Times, p. 19-20

"E. Stanley Jones, a popular twentieth-century preacher, once said: 'I am inwardly fashioned for faith, not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt, and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is gasping for breath—these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely—these are my native air.' We were created to live a life of trust in the One who made us. Look beyond your fears to the Christ who cares for you more than you will ever know." (Hope for Troubled Times, p. 19)⠀

Are you living constantly in fear? There is a solution! 💪 ⠀

"The answer to crippling fear is not that we will never be afraid--it is rather that we have One with us in our fears, strengthening us to go on no matter how we feel. We have One who is larger than our fears, bigger than our worries, and greater than our anxieties by our side, and He has practical, down-to-earth, real solutions to our problems. The sense of the presence of God is the antidote to fear. We were created to live by faith, not be consumed by our fears." (Hope for Troubled Times)⠀
