Fear is a word you hear so often. People are nervous about
their future, their family, their friends, their finances, their jobs, their
marriages, their kids. You name it someone is probably worried about it.
It’s hard not to be worried when you look at the world we
live in. It doesn’t matter what political party you side with. It doesn’t
matter what your personal views are. Honestly it just doesn’t matter because we
live in a very crazy, messed up and divided world filled with lots of anger and
hate.
It’s easy to be anxious about lots of things in life. It’s
easy to second guess yourself. It’s easy to doubt your plans and at times it is
even easy to doubt God’s plan. Things don’t always make sense. Situations arise
and sometimes I find myself thinking….is this really your plan God? Is this
supposed to be happening? How could this be a part of your plan?
Thankfully, we don’t have to understand everything.
Sometimes we don’t even have to understand anything. We just have to trust in a
God who is bigger than all circumstances. He has everything under control. He
has a plan that surpasses all of our plans, goes beyond our understandings and His
plans are always so much better than ours.
When worry sneaks into your life and fear starts to take
control remember Philippians
4:4-9. Do not be anxious about anything. Be steadfast in prayer. Remember
all the blessings that God has provided you with and thank Him for those. Only
then will you find the peace that only God can provide.
In this life the storms will come and sometimes the darkness
tries to creep in, but don’t let fear define you. Let your prayer life and
faith be your defining points! Trust, obey, praise, expect and never forget
that God is standing right beside you through it all.
