What’s your worst fear? Jesus did more than speak about fear. He faced it. In Mark 14:35-36, Jesus prayed in Gethsemane’s garden, “Abba, Father,’ everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet, I want your will to be done, not mine” (NLT).
The cup equaled Jesus’ worst-case scenario— to be the recipient of God’s wrath, to experience isolation from his Father. And what Jesus did with his fear shows us what to do with ours. He prayed. He even requested the prayer support of friends. Jesus’ prayer was brief. It was straightforward and trusting.
Do likewise. Be specific about your fears. Call them out in prayer. Make them stand before God and take their comeuppance!

Why do we always hear "get right with God" if we are righteous? How do I forgive someone when I'm so angry at them all the time? I don't want to be a fake! Exodus 20 says not to have any graven images, but what about the crosses we wear?
“‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ So He said, ‘Come'” (Matthew 14:28-29 NKJV). For a few heart-stilling moments described in Matthew 14 Peter did the impossible. He defied every law of gravity and nature. Then he shifted his attention away from Jesus, and he sank like a brick. Give the storm waters more attention than the Storm Walker, and get ready to do the same.
We can’t choose whether or not storms come. But we can choose where we stare during a storm. Do whatever it takes to keep your gaze on Jesus. Courage is always a possibility. Feed your fears, and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will starve. Storms are not an option, but fear is.
