1Thessalonians5:8. “But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.” Faith and hope are how I keep going when I struggle.
Last night I had a restless night. I usually sleep well and my sleep is usually sweet but I am dealing with something out of my control and I can’t seem to sincerely TRUST God in it. I keep worrying about it and trying to figure out what to do. I get myself so anxious because I am convinced the outcome I want, is the only one I want and I am kicking and screaming at God to give it to me. But for what ever reason it’s not what I’m getting. Last night I couldn’t stop my mind from going round and round. Finally, I meditated on this prayer, “ God, heal me and I will be healed, save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise!” I needed God to heal and save me from my own deterioration of faith and hope. It is said, when we lose hope we loose our will to live. There is always, always hope in Jesus Christ. Put your faith and hope in Him today, no matter how fast your mind may be racing in the wrong direction. STOP, quiet your mind and give HOPE in Jesus your full attention. I promise you, you’ll experience His peace no matter what your situation.😇🙏❤️He can see the forest through the trees, we often can’t.
