Letter 27: Fear vs. Faith — When the Waves Rise

This is Letter 27 from Rescue Mission from Heaven.
If fear has been knocking at your door, this letter is a reminder that faith isn't the absence of fear—it's the choice to trust Jesus in the middle of it.

FEAR VS. FAITH — WHEN THE WAVES RISE
When the Storm Tests Your Lifeboat

The waves are rising.
The world is shaking.
The noise is louder than ever.

Fear is easy to find — it’s on every screen, every headline, every whisper in the dark.
But faith? Faith is a choice — a choice to trust the Lifeboat Captain even when the sea looks impossible.

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” (Psalm 56:3)

Fear paralyzes. It makes you want to run, hide, give up.
But faith moves you forward.

It anchors you when the flood rises.
It fixes your eyes on the One who calms the storm.

I’ve felt the waves — the ones that crash so hard they knock the breath out of you.
But every time I’ve chosen to lift my eyes to Jesus, the fear lost its grip.

Fear says the storm is stronger than the Lifeboat.
It says the waves will win.

But faith says: “Jesus is in the boat — and that’s enough.”

“Do not fear, for I am with you.” (Isaiah 41:10)

Friend, the waves will rise. The flood will come.
But the lifeboat never sinks when Jesus is at the helm.

Choose faith over fear. Choose trust over panic.
Because Jesus didn’t promise the storm would stop — but He did promise you’d make it through.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, when the waves rise, help me choose faith over fear.
Remind me that You are with me, that You are greater than the storm, and that my lifeboat is safe in Your hands. Amen.

Action Step:

Write down one fear that’s been weighing on your heart.
Pray over it today — and choose to give it to Jesus.
Let His perfect love cast it out.
