Letter Six deals with fear and anxiety. The easter egg is “Our daily bread - God’s will be done.

Let’s explore the concept of accepting present tribulations and saying "Thy will be done," drawing parallels to Jesus's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. They emphasize the importance of dealing with what's immediately in front of you rather than worrying about future uncertainties, linking this to the idea of "daily bread" from the Lord's Prayer.

The biblical command to "fear not,” or “Don’t be afraid,” appears numerous times in scripture. We highlight the contrast between walking in certainty through trust in God versus succumbing to fear, which can be manipulated by demonic influences. We also touch on the concept of carrying one's cross, clarifying that we are meant to bear today's cross, not tomorrow's and that this act of self-denial is part of following Christ.

Lastly, we explore the definition of a "daily cross," describing it as living according to God's commandments and making sacrifices in pursuit of holiness. While salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, there is still a calling for believers to "mortify the flesh" and live as "living sacrifices." Fear and anxiety can rob people of joy and we encourage focusing on present challenges rather than worrying about potential future problems.

Look out for our upcoming book "Confronting Evil in Our Time" which will be released this year.
