When facing a dilemma what do you do? Pull the covers over your head…become a bull dog and aggressively attack the problem or take a deep breath and trust God? Many times we will do either of the first two, but it is the third choice that brings peace to our soul.
There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t have some type of interruption that tries to rob our peace…be it work, family, health or finances…When faced with this we have two choices, one to have faith or two be consumed with anxiety.
I have watched people crumble after receiving terrible news even though they believe in God and Jesus Christ. I have heard the frantic emotions in their voices and the lack of faith in their conversation. How do we bridge the gap between fear and our belief in God?
It is through constant prayer, learning and studying the Bible and sharing our life with like-minded Christians. When trauma attacks we must gather together in order to reinforce God’s love and mercy, as it is easy for the enemy to infiltrate our thinking and subdue our positive thoughts and belief.
We become vulnerable and scared like children, yet it is at this time we lean on our Lord for safety and security. He will bring us out of the situation and it is with peace in our hearts that we accept whatever God has planned for us. He loves us and wants nothing but the best for us; however the results we want may not be the results our Lord has planned for us.
Psalm 121: 7-8 The Lord will keep you from all harm-He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
As we encounter situations that cause anxiety trust in the Lord and know that He is with us through each obstacle that obstructs our path. We have the joy and delight of living in the grace of God and receiving His love as the Holy Spirit fills our souls with peace.
