My Declaration of Faith:
Sometimes I catch myself scrambling to fix everything. I am overthinking, stressing, and trying to fight battles I was never meant to fight. But God doesn’t want me living in a constant state of anxiety or fear.
“And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and
will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom:
to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen..”
2 Timothy 4:18
There are times, as we walk and live our lives, when unexpected and unpredictable things happen. You may feel a lump in your body, and it was diagnosed as a cancerous growth by your doctor. You may have come to work as usual, but you receive an email or a note from your supervisor that you have been laid off.
“But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.”
Psalm 86:15
I am sure if you can count all the bad decisions you have ever made in your life, you will say there are too many of them. Many of those bad choices that you have made in the past may cause you to live with regrets, emotional scars, and disappointments. You may even blame yourself for making those bad decisions, entering into that destructive relationship, or accepting that bad investment offer.
“Are not five sparrows sold for two cents?
Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.”
Luke 12:6
There comes a time when we all feel neglected, abandoned, discarded, or forgotten by the people close to us. During these times, we can feel very much alone and vulnerable, thinking that we are worthless.
