What am I fretting about?

"As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”      Mark 5:36    NKJV

Some people are worrying about the threat of WWIII happening. There are many conflicts between countries at the moment but, the threat of a major war is unthinkable. Many are fretting about this and you may be one of them, after-all, there are our grown up children to consider, they could be called upon to fight. This may well be true but, can you do anything to prevent this? Apart from praying, which is very effective, there is no way you could prevent a war happening, and for many people this can be frightening.

Jesus summed up His feeling that day when the nobleman had asked Him to come to his house to pray for his daughter, who was close to death. Jesus agreed but, as they were leaving a lady who was in a bad state came asking Him to help her, which He did. Because of the time, He told the nobleman not to fear but to believe. He did this and the girl was healed by the time they arrived at his house. This is just one example of being in crisis and not knowing what to do about it.

Jesus is our provider, always has been and always will be, and He will help us with the negatives in our life such as:

(1)  What if I buy this car and it breaks down? It probably won't but if it does, there are people who can fix it. 

(2). What if I leave my job for a better paid one and I can't handle it? It's highly unlikely this happening but if it did, you could always ask for your job back. If this is not possible, Jesus will find you something else. But ask yourself, did you ask God for direction in the first place? Ask yourself, is God in charge or not? If not it may be helpful to put Him there. 

One things for sure, Jesus does not want you fretting about things and, if you do you're in the wrong. You know He has given you peace. Therefore, stand firm and begin to trust Jesus more and more each day.  

 If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
