How did Jesus endure the terror of the crucifixion?
He went first to the Father with his fears. He modelled the words of Psalm 56:3:
“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.”
Do the same with yours. And be honest; do what Jesus did. Open your heart. And be specific; Jesus was. “Take this cup,” he prayed. Share the details.
God has plenty of time, he has plenty of compassion, he doesn’t think your fears are foolish or silly.
He knows how you feel, and he knows what you need.
In the case of Christ God did not take away the cross, but he took away the fear.
Who’s to say he won’t take away your fear?
Please, don’t measure the size of the mountain; talk to the One who can move it. Hope is just a look away. Now, what were you looking at?
