Fear on the Road

22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him." 23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer. Ezra 8:23

The fear was that they would be attacked by enemies on the road but they knew that God would not allow anything bad to happen, yet the fear was there and they still took their leap of faith on this journey. They prayed and petitioned to God about it all and God answered their prayer. God is always willing to listen and help because of his great love. What road are you scared to take today? Why are you scared if God is there? God works differently with all of us, sometimes he will take this fear away and other times he will say no you keep the fear and just trust me 100%. What is God asking of you today while you stand on this road?

God bless,
Jesse
