Day 97 Faith, not Fear

Lord, I am like those disciples in the boat (Mark 4:35-41).  When things are calm, I'm full of faith. But tonight, the baby began to scream inconsolably.  I tried everything, but his little body is fighting for health and I'm afraid.  Will the vitamins work? Will he recover? I'm crying out to You to help me, to help him, to show me the way to wisdom and not worry.  And now this Word- "Quiet, be still. Why are you so afraid? Do you have so little faith?"  I walked away from the baby, leaving him with my husband, my partner, my love, and now all is quiet.  Perhaps You, Lord, want me to share this burden adn receive help from my closest family and to admit that I need help and am not super mommy.  Thanks for the lesson, Lord. 

Tip:  If baby is in a safe place, learn to walk away and take a 10 minute break if you need it.
