Jesus asked his disciples one shocking question after a terrifying experience on the Sea of Galilee.<\/p>\n<p>He simply said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where is your faith?&#8221; Luke 8:25<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The answer to this question both reveals the reason we worry and points to the solution for our worries!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The faith that Jesus was talking about is not a general faith that is often referred to in today\u2019s popular culture. It is not faith in some higher good or simply having a positive outlook in life. It most certainly is not faith in yourself, in your abilities or talents. Jesus called us to a faith much higher than ourselves. He called us to believe in the only thing that can actually lift us from our worries and set us on solid ground. Jesus called for faith in himself!&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00N2KRTXQ\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00N2KRTXQ&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sukfam-20&amp;linkId=DDGKQKMCDOCW6PQI\">What If&#8230;\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Links<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldmag.com\/2014\/09\/holding_together\" target=\"_blank\">World Magazine<\/a> interviewed me about the situation in Ukraine.
