How Jesus Prepared Disciples - Disciple Makers Series #11Sample

Do Not Worry ! Do not be afraid.

Fear shows up in many ways. It is seen most easily where we face attacks. The greater and more threatening the attack, the greater the fear.

Fear shows up in other things too. Loneliness. Feeling insignificant. Not believing we will be accepted. God says do not be afraid. He knows our every need. He knows our struggles. He knows and watches over us every day. He counts the hairs (and the ones that fall out). He knows where every single bird is located. He knows where His children are and what they face.

Time to Pray

Father, in the face of attacks from people, I know it is easy for me not to see You and Your protection around me. It is easy to be distracted from what You ask me to do. It is easy to pull back in fear and stop doing what You say. Not today Lord!! I want to go about today with my focus on You and Your task for me. Give me strength, give me focus and give me joy in the task. In Jesus’ name I pray Amen.
