Psalms 31:15
But my trust is in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
--------------------------------------------
My recent long-term assignment away from home and my family has really tested by faith and belief in God. There were days when I would question the things coming my way. And there are days when that question is not being answered – or so I thought.
And as the day goes by, the answer becomes very clear. It may not be the answer that I expected, for it is more than what I expected.
Things are not always clear for us either and it can seem that we are lost in the wilderness. Faith — trust in God — is spiritual radar that will guide us onward and home.
Everything that we do will be through the power of God, for it is God’s show and not ours. But we have to accept that gift and allow ourselves to be led by it. The fact that Jesus abolished death and grants us immortality should set us free from the self-preserving fear that governs our lives.
This grants us the freedom to love and to serve without being overwhelmed by the usual human feeling of vulnerability. For God will see guide you through it and succeed.
That is why a constant turning to God in prayer is vital for healing. And for those who remain too broken and wounded to pray for themselves, they must rely on their brothers and sisters in Christ to pray in their stead.
Restore someone's ability to trust. God will bless you for it.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, how me how much you love me and save me according to your promise. Then I can answer those who insult me because I trust in your word. Then I can live fully without fear under Your great love and mercy because my faith is in You, for I trust in Your word. Amen +
Save me, O Lord, in your kindness.
