But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"
Mark 4:40 

If we are going to live by faith we must completely trust in God. We don't always see what or how things may work out but we don't have to. There is nothing for us to be worried about. Sure there are things that will happen in life that may cause concern but once we turn it over to God we need to let go of it and let Him work it out. Sometimes our human minds will create problems out of many things, some legitimate concerns but many not. Worry breeds fear and fear is not of God. God doesn't have problems and He can handle any situation whether large or small perfectly. It is not healthy spiritually or physically for us to worry.  When God says don't fear and don't worry it is because He has already made a way, and has a plan put into action. We need to trust in His plans.  Worrying will only steal our joy and hope. If we will just trust Him to guide us He will make a way (where it may seem impossible), and bring down any walls standing in our way.  We all have a mission and a purpose and worrying is not a part of it. What happened yesterday, and what will happen today and tomorrow is in His hands. Leave it to Him.  

Prayer 

Give us strength today to follow you and to place our faith in your ability. We have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about as we place every situation in your hands.  Give us the wisdom and the faith to remain focused on our purpose and to accomplish all that you desire. To you we give all praise and honor. Amen.
