Often times some of us find ourselves guilty of worrying even though the Lord tells us in his word, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done”. –Philippians 4:6
The Lord has always provided for me and met my needs sufficiently yet tough times will still come along to test our faith and every now and then we may get discouraged even if we know deep down inside that God will inevitably see us through. We are able to depend on the Lord due to his past track record for carrying us out of our storms.
It is so easy for us to have faith while things are running smooth in our lives but real hope consists of endurance in the expectation of what God promises no matter how difficult the struggle may be or how impossible the outlook may appear. I had felt that I didn’t need to experience seasons of trial to recognize the delivering actions of the Lord, however, going through the trying events of life and looking back gives an account of why our God is so reliable.
He can be trusted as those undesirable tribulations seem unreasonable and unbearable because he enables us to bear them, giving us a reason to hold on if we’re inspired to persevere.
Our Lord is almighty powerful there isn’t anything he cannot do or make happen. After all, everything is designed and operated by him. He controls everything. What a deep an awe-inspiring Lord we have reigning over us. The supreme ruler who is able to accomplish indefinitely.
I knew since childhood what God was capable of doing that is how strong my faith was within his existence and power. Some of us are well aware through a strong belief of the efficiency of our lord we just may at times wonder or doubt whether or not he will grant us the help. We absolutely know that he could, though, we are not always confident in that he would.
Nevertheless, he surprises us with his unfailing love and mercy, and unwavering faithfulness.
Some people worry themselves to death, they can’t help it, especially when fear overcomes them. Fear is immobilizing and torturing. “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand”. -Isaiah 41:10
When anxiety, worry and fear take over resulting from a periodic lack of faith run to God’s word to remain tightly secured in his truths. Continue to believe and adhere to what he acknowledges to us. God is our rock and refuge and he will never let his children go unattended. We’re incapable of deciphering his master plan so there is no other way but for us to accept our circumstances in the hope for what is to come.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. –Matthew 6:25-34
