Father… I know that fear comes from doubt. I know that because I have fear. And that fear is from seeing the circumstances around me. That fear is from seeing things that don’t fall in line with the things you’ve promised. I doubt your promises. I doubt you will carry out the promises the way that I hope they are carried out. I doubt you will do the good I want. I am afraid of what you may ask of me. I’m afraid of the suffering that you may ask me to endure to reach that promise. I truly am afraid.
You have promised good things. You have promised and answered wonderful things. You will see them worked out. You overcome the events that plague me. You comfort me through the suffering. You seek me out that you may fight on my behalf. You are good.
