Faith

Does providence eliminate fear?

Not always, but it provides a much deeper security.

Trusting in God does not mean never feeling fear at all. You can have faith and, at the same time, fear a loss, a decision, or a hardship. Trust does not magically erase the emotion, but it places fear in the hands of someone far greater than you. There begins a different peace. Trusting that God takes care of history does not eliminate your freedom. It allows you to act with seriousness and, at the same time, surrender to God that which lies beyond your hands.

Key idea

Trust helps you overcome fear.

Your challenge for this idea

Surrender a concrete fear to God today. Name it explicitly in prayer.
