Sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith and let go of what's holding you back.
Imagine you're at the edge of a cliff, looking down at a beautiful, clear blue lake. You want to jump and swim around, but you're scared. You're not sure what's going to happen. That's a lot like life, isn't it? Sometimes, you gotta take a leap of faith.
In the Bible, there's this story about Jesus and his buddies, the disciples. They're out on a boat in the middle of the night, and a storm hits. The disciples freak out, thinking they're gonna sink. They wake up Jesus, who's been sleeping through the whole thing, and they're like, "Don't you care if we drown?"
Sometimes, you gotta take a leap of faith.
Jesus, cool as a cucumber, tells the storm to chill out. And it does. Just like that. He then turns to his friends and asks, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
Sometimes, life feels like that storm. It's scary, and we're not sure if we're gonna make it. But just like Jesus was there for his disciples, He's here for us. We just gotta trust Him.
There are two kinds of leaps of faith. The first is like jumping off that cliff into the lake. You're not sure what's gonna happen, but you do it anyway, hoping others will follow your lead. The second is when you're fed up and decide to stand up for what you believe in. Both require a lot of courage and faith.
So, what's your cliff? What's that thing you're scared to do but know you should? Maybe it's standing up to a bully, or telling your friends about Jesus, or deciding to follow God's plan for your life instead of your own. Whatever it is, take that leap of faith. Trust God. He's got your back.
Dear God, give us the courage to take leaps of faith. Help us trust You, even when we're scared. Remind us that You're always with us, even in the middle of life's storms. Amen.
