I am not going to lie, I have been living in fear lately, and it's been really difficult to dig myself out of it. The "what ifs" have been on repeat in my head.
But I'm still going. I'm still praying.
Trying to have more faith instead of fear. Trying to push the enemy and negative thoughts to the side.
This is a Christians life. Not perfect, still sinful, still fearful, all while still trying, still praying, repenting, and still hanging on.
Not today Satan.
Dear Jesus, please be with everyone who is hurting, battling depression, anxiety, grieving, and just dealing with the sorrow and hurt that this Earthly life brings. Please give us all peace beyond our understanding, and the strength to walk through the fires of life knowing you are with us. While we may not understand why things happen the way they do, and sometimes you have to tell us "no" when we desperately want the answer to be a "yes", help us fully trust and understand that your plans are always greater, and there is a REASON. Please help us fully trust in You, and your promises without any hesitation or doubt. Please help us lean on the promise of Heaven, and that you are working all things for good.
I am so sorry God for my lack of faith and letting fear take center stage. I am trying. I need you. Thank you for everything you have done, are doing, and will continue to do. I love you.
Amen.
