“When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.”
– Psalm 56:3
There will likely be times in your life that are simply overwhelming. Times when your fear is real and completely valid. In those times, remember that God is a very present help to His people. God wants to use those times to build your trust in Him. To teach you how to walk through the valley of the shadow of death with Him. Contrary to the popular myth (which is absolutely a myth), God will absolutely give you more than you can handle. He’ll permit more struggles and setbacks than you can sort through on your own.
This is so you will learn to walk in His strength and the power of His Spirit rather than your own strength and spirit. It’s in these overwhelming and frightening times that you need to be completely open and honest with God. Confessing your fears. Admit your inadequacy. Lift up your concerns. Trusting in the Lord. If Jesus is your Lord, then He is in you and with you. His Spirit seals and will strengthen you. He will give you your daily bread when you ask for it. You’re never alone and never abandoned! Do what God has made you to do. Do what God has called you to do. Do what God has prepared for you to do, no matter how intimidating or overwhelming. Trust in God despite your fears. #FollowJesus
