Fear Rightly Placed

Dear God,

We all say that we fear something, but I think the thing that we fear the most is the unknown. We have no way of knowing what will happen tomorrow, but to a certain degree we have to be prepared. "And He said unto His disciples, 'Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.' "(Luke 12:22) When Your Son said this to His disciples, He was telling them not to be anxious. Then Paul, the apostle echoed the same thought in Philippians, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."(Phil. 4:6) The only way to approach a new day is down on our knees before You. Without You, we are throwing caution to the wind, and being anxious about the outcome.

Sincerely,
Wade Jinright
