Sometimes a simple prayer will do, it doesn’t replace setting time aside for God but they do help us with getting through life hurdles when we are in a crisis.

Fear will keep you stuck and will have you living an unfulfilled life. God did not give us the spirit of fear, instead He gave us the spirit of love and power. If we want to accomplish the will of God in our lives, we need to understand the nature of fear and not be ruled by it. You see, fear clouds our thinking, torments us emotionally, as well as may contribute to analysis paralysis. We all may have fearful moments, but once you have prayed about a situation and have peace in your heart about your decision even though you may not have figured it all out yet; I challenge you to do it afraid.

Have you finished your Christmas Shopping? Well, may I ask that you consider giving Christ something this year? Give Him your cares, your worries, and all of troubles. You see, no one else would want them anyway! But Jesus is glad to bear them and when you place all of your concerns in His hands, it shows that you trust Him to handle it all!

Don’t waste time and energy living under guilt and condemnation. Every time a negative, condemning thought comes to your mind, remind yourself that God loves you no matter what!

In times of uncertainty such as living in this pandemic and not knowing what our future looks life or what will define our “new normal” we may swing like a pendulum and go back and forth between faith and doubt. In order to help us grow in faith it is important to trust God and His wisdom and reflect on God’s faithfulness based on the scriptures as well as in your own personal experiences. We can stabilize our faith by choosing to trust God rather than our circumstances. Our perspective of what’s going on in life and in the world is limited and unreliable. The bible tells us that the Lord our God is faithful, He will see you through each and every situation in His own timing.
