"You of little faith, why are you so fearful? In these words we must hear all the disappointment of Jesus Christ in His disciples and all His love for them. Do you still not know that you are in God's hands, that where I am, God is? Why are you so fearful? Be of good courage, strong, firm, adult, sure, confident, not shaking with fear. Don't hang your heads; don't complain about what bad times these are... I am in the boat. And Christ is here, too, in the nave of this church. So why not hear Him and believe Him?"
(From "Overcoming Fear", a sermon on Matthew 8:23-27, preached by Dietrich Bonhoeffer January 15, 1933)
