Dear Faith

Dear Faith,
I’d really like to get to know you better.  I am sorry that I have been pushing you to the back of my life and giving precedence to all my pressures and stresses (and, yes, I admit it, worries).  It’s not that I didn’t think Jesus was important.  It is that I didn’t think Jesus was the most important and, as I have been learning lately, He is (Matthew 6:33).
If life is a ship, obeying Jesus is the rudder and the helm that directs me through life – no matter how chaotic.  God’s word is the sails that pull me in the right direction.  His presence is the anchor that keeps me grounded (Hebrews 6:19).  And, right now, all that seems very important right with the anxiety, uncertainty, and senselessness in my life.
Can you help me put Jesus first?  I want to treat Him the way He deserves, but I am so practiced at putting other things first.  I am not even sure what it looks like to put Christ first.  Maybe it starts with thinking about you, Faith, the right way?  Can you help me do that?  I want to but I don’t really know how.
All I know is, the just shall by faith.  Maybe you can explain that to me a bit more.
Until next time,
Me
Ps.  Yes, Lord, this letter is really to You.
