Dear Missionary Lady,

Greetings in the name of our wise, powerful, and fearless Leader. We are where we are because of God, and He is completely able to take care of us.

Middle – “And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves … and his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish” (Matthew 8:24-25).

End – “Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm” (Matthew 8:26).

Beginning – “And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him” (Matthew 8:23).

When we are in the middle, let us not lose faith regarding the end, because we remember the beginning. The Savior who knew what would happen (and slept through it) got in the boat first. The disciples followed Him.

If we follow where He leads, and He remains with us, we can trust Him to take care of whatever happens in the place (situation) where He has led us. Let us follow fearlessly.

Love in Christ,

Peggy Holt
