Ruth, from Moab and recently widowed, decides to take a courageous step: she accompanies her mother-in-law to her homeland of Israel and does not allow herself to be dissuaded from this plan.
But Ruth replied, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.”
Ruth 1:16
Looking back, things turned out well for Ruth, as she remarried as a foreigner and was thus financially secure. But in between, there were certainly nights full of fear and worry.
There are also fears and worries in my life, but I can give them to Jesus in prayer. This means honestly telling him everything that is troubling me in prayer and trusting that he will guide me in his love and wisdom.
What do you do with your fears and worries in life?
