Jesus tells us not to be afraid. He tells us this most often than any other advice and direction. It is said that this is said 365 times in the Bible. We have no reason to fear, because He is in control. If we fear, we do not trust Jesus or God, our Father. It is a sign of true faith and love to give up the sense of ‘control’ and let God steer our life. He will always deliver us from evil and keep us safe. He always protects us and guides us. We just have to allow Him to do so. It is either God or us at the wheel…And only He can know what is best for us.
“…Let your requests be made known to God;”
6 Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:7 (Darby Translation)
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
-Matthew 7:15

“I am a feather on the breath of God.”
“…an ambassador in chains.”
“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should” (Eph. 6:19-20).
today’s prayer.
