God’s Promises…

In His Word, God gave us promises that we can rely on when we need hope and comfort. These promises reveal to us the deepest nature of God and tell us who God is in relation to His people.
When we have problems or when we are afraid, we often begin to imagine the worst-case scenario. We forget that our loving Father holds us in His hands. When fear and doubt about God’s faithfulness seem overwhelming, here’s a way to reforcus:
1. Chose to trust that God is bigger, smarter and more loving than you can imagine. God loves us and He always keeps His promises. Read and reread God’s promises to you Fill you mind with them.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”  Proverbs 3:5-6
2. Resist the temptation to worship the problem. It’s a common form of idolatry! It’s easy to get so focused on a problem so that we talk about it endlessly instead of praying about it and focusing on Gods ability to handle it.
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
3. Regain your joy and peace: Focus on God-on who He is and what He has done for you and worship Him. Keep His ability, not the problem’s overwhelming nature, in the forefront of you mind.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes rom the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let you foot slip-He who watches over you will not slumber.” Psalm 121:1-3
4. Pray, thank God, and let Him take care of it!
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ.” Philippians 4:6-7
