The Intersection of Fear & Faith

We all face those “under pressure” moments.

Although much is beyond our reach of control in these moments, we are presented with a choice…

Will we travel down the road of fear or will we choose faith?

Difficult circumstances bring us to the intersection of fear and faith.

The road of fear is dark.

Its travelers have lost hope.

Attractions along the way of fear include: anxiety, panic, worry, paranoia, depression, and despair.

In the other direction…

The way of faith is brightly lit.

No one on this path is perfect, but their hope is in a perfectly good and present God.

Attractions on the pathway of faith include: peace, confidence, renewed strength, and unshakable joy.

The choice is ours—which direction will we choose in our “under pressure” moments, at the intersection of fear and faith?

“You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it.” (James 1.3, 5 MSG)
