Moving From Fear To Faith

The last two years of my life have been filled with so many unexpected things. If you know the Bible you will know understand when I say I was in a Job moment. If you haven’t read the story of Job I encourage you to read it. Anything you are going through will seem like nothing when you read what happened to Job. 💗 Anyways, it got to be so much I actually said to the Lord, “How much more?” I really couldn’t handle anymore. I can’t say the things we have been through because they are very personal but as we walked through them these things hit me . .. worry, stress, anxiety, hurt, pain and panic. 💗 

How did I walk through the most horrible, painful and terrible two years of my life? I had to make a decision to believe what God says and not panic, worry or stress and just pray. 💗 I could have made the decision to stay in that emotional chaos that I was falling into but I had to choose to say no to those things. 💗 Now, I’m not saying I didn’t have my ups and downs because worry is just in our human nature. I also had many days where I was in tears but for the most part I let go of the anxiety, worry, stress and panic. 💗 I had to totally turn things over to God and either believe that His Word is true or it isn’t. I chose to believe it is true. 💗

As a believer in God I am called to faith not fear. I had to keep building my faith even in the difficult times by praying and staying in His Word. 💗I also had to choose to not worry my prayers or let them be fear based. I had to remind God of His promises and eventually my panic turned to praise. I had to turn my concerns over to Him. 💗What’s the most pressing thing in your life right now? Whatever that is replace worry with the truth of God’s love and power. 

Trust in God that He will do what He says. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him.” 💗 After my panic turned to praise , my praise then turned to peace. Paul the Apostle said, “Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything that we can understand.” It’s hard to comprehend how it works but it does. 💗

So, just believe in God that He will. Don’t panic and just pray! Have a blessed Sunday!
