"Walk on. Have Faith. Fear not."
So good! God didn't call us to have a spirit of fear...no...He called us to life! If you are living in fear...without faith...you will start slowly sinking until before you know it...you have been sucked down into total distress! Don't go there!! Stop living in fear and begin to live in faith!
As long as we are walking with the Lord...letting Him be our Guide and lead us...we can do what that quote says..."Walk on!" God won't let us down! He is there for us giving us strength through any situation we find ourself in. When fear grips us we need to battle on...get in the Word...Pray...allow the Lord to vanquish the fear...and carry on with what the Lord has for us.
2 Timothy 1:7 AMP
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
Whatever you are going through at this time in your life...
God's. Got. It.
Give everything that's causing you stress or fear to the Lord. Your...cares...worries...problems...health...job...family...finances...
give it all too Him!
1 Peter 5:7
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
The Lord really is our Rock...our Refuge. Call on Him always. Let Him give you the strength and faith you need to stand up and walk through the difficulties of your life.
"until we see JESUS...face to face"
This post is almost exactly what The Lord has been saying to me lately, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYesterday was the first day since the panic attack that sent me to the ER, that I went back to church...and I clung onto Psalm 16:1-3..
Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take refuge.

I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”

I say of the holy people who are in the land,
“They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
I had allowed fear to take me down into a pit of despair...and was feeling totally defeated. It (the fear and anxiety) has been a harder battle than the one I had with cancer. But, I am completely leaning on Jesus once again...just the way I did then when I was battling through cancer.
Blessings and love to you my friend...It is always so nice to see your faithfulness in posting here about our wonderful Lord!
