And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. (Matthew 8:26 ESV)
There is a correlation between fear and faith. Jesus, talking to his disciples, implies that if they had more faith they would not have feared.
Faith and fear is a crazy struggle; at every turn in the life of our family God has provided. But I still lack faith and have fear that he wil not provide if we completely trust Him for our provision. I trust Him to provide as long as I am also providing; that is not the definition of trust! I am micromanaging God; I'm 'trusting' Him as long as I'm also keeping tabs on the situation. That's a little messed up if I do say so!
More faith equals less fear; what creates more faith? The best answer I got is experiencing faith; acting in the areas of unbelief and allowing God to be faithful!
Babblings of a tired mind on an afternoon coffee break.
