We are the storm. Big? Small? God decides. Just as POTUS has left his other business life to do this mission from God. You always want to make sure you are on God's team where He wants you. NOT going off on your on will's way and calling on God to join the team. Fear is just and emotion anyone can have prior to battle. With Gods help Patriots over come that emotion and fight the good fight.

Everyone alive starts out on milk. Those called move on the Meat and learn the mission that God's wants us on. Been a meat eater a long, long time. I have no issue with anyone thinking for themselves in my view we see far to little of that around here. What that requires is a lot of work to understand what is going on. Your free thinking is not the issue, be careful who you follow.
Brother new material needed here.
Best way to learn is follow the best!!!
Matthew 6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Giving to the Poor and Prayer
6 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 “So when you [a]give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3 But when you [b]give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your [c]giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
5 “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners [d]so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. 8 So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 “Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 ‘Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 ‘Give us this day [e]our daily bread.
12 ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from [f]evil. [g][For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’]
14 For if you forgive [h]others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive [i]others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
But [s]seek first [t]His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be [u]added to you.
For context posted three verses. Point is if you ask and do not receive it is because your motives are wrong they do not line up with God's.
James 4:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Things to Avoid
4 [a]What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? [b]Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask [c]with wrong motives, so that you may spend it [d]on your pleasures.
Matthew 6:33 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
33 But [a]seek first [b]His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be [c]added to you.
Jesus is our very example. He prays and asks God to remove the terrible ordeal He will face. Then He says "Not my will but yours be done"
Luke 22:42 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
