Good Morning,
I decorated the inside of my mug with Door County Morning Blend Coffee. Friday arrived and by the grace of God I feel pretty good today and am looking forward to work.
John 12:27 "Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, "Father, save Me from this hour?
Most all of us have experienced being overcome with fear at one time or another. For some people, their fear gets completely out of control in certain situations.

Jesus knew that He was facing death. He had to deal with that fear as a human. He didn't try to put on a brave face and pretend that He wasn't afraid. He was a human, facing human fears. He wrestled with the dilemma of going through with it or not, He faced fear. He then submitted and surrendered Himself obediently to the will of the Father.
Don't be afraid of fear. The fact that Jesus was afraid shows that it is not a disgrace to fear. Face up to your fear bravely and see it for what it really is. Then humbly ask God for extra courage. Ask Him to go through this fear with you. to hold you and guide you and let His strength work through and in you. Think about how quietly Jesus walked to the crucifixion, how brave were His steps. Whatever you fear, surrender yourself unconditionally to God, place yourself in His care and trust Him completely. He will carry you through.
Love to all,
Marty
