‘Trusting God Through Your Fears’

Edited by Mike Competillo

(Greg and Tony enter together)

Greg- Hi Tony!

Tony- Oh Hi Greg!

Greg- What are you doing today?

Tony- Well, first I have to do some errands for mom. Then I guess I can play the rest of the afternoon.

Greg- That’s great! Would you like to come over to my house and play some games?

Tony- Sounds good to me, but are you sure you want to get beat?

Greg- Yeah right! I accept the challenge!

Tony- Alright then, But Greg, I have to get going ‘cause my mom said she needed me to get home right away.

Greg- How about if I walk with you? Is that alright?

Tony- Sure! (They move like they’re walking)

Greg- So, are you ready for Sunday night?

Tony- (hesitates) Well…I’m not sure!

Greg- What’s the matter?

Tony- Are you sure we really need to do this?

Greg- Tony! Yes, we have to do it. The bible says that when we get saved the next step is to get water baptized. Don’t tell me you’re afraid.

Tony- Well, I wouldn’t say I’m afraid… but….

Greg- But what?

Greg- It’s really not that bad. It’s all over before you know it.

Tony- Don’t they push you down backwards? I’m not sure about that.

Greg- Why not?

Tony- I don’t like water getting up my nose.

Greg- Gee Tony, I didn’t realize you were afraid to get baptized.

Tony- I’m not afraid, I just…

Greg- …don’t like the idea of them putting you all the way down, under the water.

Both- Right.

Tony- Greg, you’re not going to tell anybody, are you?

Greg- How about if you allow me to tell only One Person.

Tony- Well, who do you want to tell?

Greg- How about if I talk to God about it? We can pray and ask God to take the fear away. Also ask your parents to pray with you.

Tony- Oh yeah, thanks Greg. I didn’t even think about it…. Him.

Greg- Remember Tony that God is always just a prayer away and He wants to help us, if we just take the time to listen.
