Yeah the list goes on.

So what do you when you have these fears? What do you do when you are inside a sinking boat? Where your worse fears and nightmares are coming alive right before your eyes

Well these are the most likely outcomes I can think of

You can trust in your own Armour your own power, your own human strategies to tackle the problem. OK I can do this, I can handle this storm!!!!! Time to kick some stormy butts.

You could be angry at the storm

whining about how unfair life is

You could just crumble under the pressure of the storm and just give up.

ok in some special cases you would be like

But whatever path you take. (No matter how much you run away or hide. It will come back.) It always leads you back to one point. You realize that the storm is too big. Your methods and ways are not working. You are going down.

And this is the point where God comes in. Faith begins when you see God on the mountain and you are in the alley and you know that you are too weak to make the climb up. You see what you need, you see what you have and you realize that what you have isn’t even to reach the top. And you know where you want to be. You want to be at the top of the mountain where you can have

This

And this

Lol, noooo you cant really have all this on the top of the mountain, but you get something way way wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. You get the peace of God!!!!!!

So how do we get to the top of the mountain you ask? If my iron man suit can’t help me then what can? By now you should be in the eye of the storm, your boat is leaking and your captain has abandoned ship. Oh and you can’t swim by the way, and there is a giant squid in the ocean. So you are trapped in one corner, you have nowhere else to turn to. And you see God, he is standing there he is fine and everything over at his side is calm and ok. So ofcourse in your hour of need you turn to God. You beg for help, you hear his voice and he askes you to trust him, to have faith in him, to walk on water.

And then ofcourse you go: Jesus you got to be kidding me, there is a freaking giant squid in the ocean and you want me to go into the ocean?

That is what faith is. Faith is believing and trusting in someone or something. Even though every fiber of our body tells us that it’s not logical.

But the thing is guys, when we look towards God. When we look towards God, we realize so many things. Like how we are in need of a great Saviour and that we are not strong enough. We realize how awesome, strong and big God is compared to our problems and storms. If you think about it, God is in control of everything. There is nothing more powerful than God. So with that thinking you can have the faith that you not only be able to survive the storm but also we can also OWN THE S*** of that storm. Not by your own works but through God.

But then there is the next problem. How do I get faith? How do I strengthen my faith with God?

Romans 10: 17 says Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Chirst

The bible explains it very clearly that to go through life, we need to hear the word of Christ. We need to read our bibles, we need speak to God. We need to know God more. We need to know him inside out.

· We need to know how much he loves us, that nothing we ever do or could do will ever make him turn his back on us.

· How much we need him.

· How much God is, has and will go through everything for you.

All this amounts to Grace. And grace is this

Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8-9:

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, its is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

Well it’s a process of learning. It’s a process of breaking and moulding, breaking your pride and your doubts Haha which will take a life time to master. But everyday as you trust God more and more you will see that life is more like this

Ok bye guys, i hope this helped.
