Why We Can ASK

Because when we love Jesus, when we believe he came from God, his sacrifice covers our sins, and we gain direct access to ask the Father in Jesus’s name. Then when we are truly asking as Jesus’s representatives, with his motives and ways of loving rather than our own, the Father gives what we ask.

Fear – Part 2

When I speak of being the master of our fear, I do not mean that we stifle the fear, pushing it down and pretending it’s not there.  That’s unhealthy.  I mean that we are the authority over it. We run it. It doesn’t run us. The fear is there, whether we like it or not. It’s what we do with it that makes the difference.

Fear – Part 1

Perhaps it is easier for us to fear, worry, or be anxious than to have faith. A default for us, even, when we encounter things beyond our understanding or felt ability to cope. If we understood why we don’t need to be afraid, would we be better equipped to encounter our fear as a means of growing more intimate with Him?
