Finding Faith in Fearful Times

Finding Faith in Fearful Times…

Life often feels like a dark, winding journey through a haunted attraction. We encounter moments that stir fear, just like those amusement park rides where unseen hands brush against us and chilling sounds echo in the darkness. In those moments, we remind ourselves it’s not real, the monsters are fake, and ultimately, we’re safe.

In a world filled with genuine threats, dangers, and problems, it’s easy to succumb to fear. Yet, for believers, there’s a profound truth that offers immense comfort: God causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). This divine promise transforms our perspective on even the most daunting challenges.

Consider the scariest situations and the most overwhelming problems you face; for a believer, these are akin to that carnival ride. Though they may appear terrifying and real, ultimately, they are not. Even the enemy’s most potent attacks are destined to be turned around for your benefit. Your biggest problem, at its core, is nothing more than a temporary illusion, a “carnival ride” designed to test your faith, not break your spirit.

As Jeremiah 32:27 declares, “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”

This powerful question from God Himself is a cornerstone of our faith. It assures believers that no obstacle, no difficulty, and no perceived impossibility is beyond His power.

Heavenly Father, We come before You today, acknowledging Your sovereignty and boundless power. In moments of fear and uncertainty, when the shadows of life’s challenges loom large, remind us of Your unfailing presence. Help us to see every problem, no matter how daunting, as an opportunity for Your glory to be revealed. Strengthen our faith to believe the good You promise and to disbelieve the lies of fear and evil. Grant us the confidence to trust in Your control, knowing that You are orchestrating all things for our ultimate good. May our lives be a testament to Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
