Written by Max Lucado, a contemporary pastor and author. This is an excerpt from his book “Calm Moments for Anxious Days.”
The Lord is in control. He knows how it all turns out. And He promised it will be for my good. He will give me the courage to keep going and the hope to hold on …The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. Even Christ was afraid (Mark 14:33). But make your fear a visitor and not a resident. Hasn’t fear taken enough? Enough smiles? Chuckles? Restful nights, exuberant days? Meet your fears with faith… I don’t have to live afraid. Because God cares. He holds my hands and leads me safely to Him.
Prayer:
Written by the author of today’s meditation, Max Lucado.
Father, you are good — so good that you did not leave us alone on this earth. You left us your Spirit to guide us. Because of your Spirit, I never have to feel alone or afraid. You are with me always. Amen.
