FAITH IN HIM!

FAITH IN HIM!

I am a serious-minded

PERSON=are you?

Do you get upset

When people

Don't take things

As seriously as you?

I don't

That is just the WAY

Of the world

Sometimes=when we are WORRIED

I think we want others

TO WORRY with us too=

I think that was

The CASE=with the apostles

And Jesus today

“Jesus was in the stern-

Asleep on a cushion

They woke him

And said to him=

'Teacher-do you NOT CARE

That we are perishing?'” Mark 4:38

The apostles were WERE worried

As there was

A STORM on the sea=and their little boat

Was rocking

But Jesus wasn't worried

He KNEW who he was

And NEITHER should we worry

Because we know

WHO he is too=

And Jesus is ALWAYS

IN the boat with us

Calling on him

FAITH IN HIM!

“Have FAITH in God'

Jesus answered” Mark 11:22

“The apostles=

Said to the Lord

INCREASE OUR FAITH” Luke 17:5

“On arriving there

They gathered=the church people together

And reported all

That God had done

Through them

And how he=had opened

A DOOR OF FAITH

To the Gentiles” Acts 14:27

HOW could Jesus

Be so CALM

With a severe storm

On the sea?

The apostles were WORRIED=

They knew-

They couldn't handle this situation

All by themselves=and so

They CALLED on Jesus

Just as WE

Call on Jesus

In our moments of crisis=

Our MOMENTS of trouble

CALLING on him-

Having=FAITH IN HIM!

“The Lord is near

To all=Who CALL on him

To all=who

CALL on him in truth” Psalm 145:18

The apostles CALLED on Jesus

And so do we

In times of worry=

In times of PANIC=

WHEN we are most afraid

We need to have FAITH IN HIM!=

Faith in the Holy Father God

So don't panic=RECALL YOUR FAITH!

And remember=Jesus is

Always in the boat

With us=FAITH IN HIM!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our HOLY FATHER=who is always there

And HAPPY FATHER'S DAY o our God=and to all

Our earthly FATHERS=those who are here=and those who are in HEAVEN
