Let Us Do What Jesus Did

DAY 5 OF 7

Do not fear, trust Jesus as he trusted his Father


“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;


believe also in me.”


I don’t know how many times I have repeated this verse to myself. When I’ve been worried, when I’ve been burdened, when I’ve felt overwhelmed, I would say these words to myself: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


Perhaps I have said these words more than any other verse in the Bible. They have been a source of endless comfort and peace.


In commanding us to not let our hearts be troubled, Jesus assumes that worry is a choice. We can let our hearts be troubled, We can give way to worry and fear. Or we can choose to trust our God.


We choose fear and worry, or we choose faith and peace. Jesus looks deeply into your eyes and speaks to your soul: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you are fearful for your child’s safety, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you are worried about finances, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you have failed spiritually and feel guilty, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you are out of work and feel overwhelmed by fear and failure, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you are sick with worry over your teenager’s choices, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you fear that you’ll never find the right mate, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you hear the doctor say, “It’s cancer,” hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


When you think about your own death, hear Jesus say to you, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”


For worries, fears, and burdens, these are words to know, to memorize, to claim. These are words to stand upon.
