In Trevor Hudson's latest book "Friendship with God - how God's offer of intimate relationship can change your life" he quotes William Barry who was wanting to distinguish between real faith and pseudo faith.
He quotes Barry, '"Fear not, trust in God and He will see that none of the things you fear will happen to you"; that of real religion, on the contrary, is "Fear not; the things you are afraid of are quite likely to happen to you, but they are nothing to be afraid of."' In all the changes of our lives we are tempted to ask God to deliver us from all that we fear instead of asking God to guide us as we confront the Goliaths in front of us.
Grace,
David
