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.
My Declaration of Faith:
Today, I remind myself: I carry the power and presence of the living God inside me. I’ve spent too long focusing on what’s wrong: on the struggles, the debt, and the daily battles I face. But those things don’t define me. They don’t get the final word.
“He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.”
Job 26:7
You may feel like you are out of control and that your life is in chaos. You may feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster and contemplating ways to try to get off this endless cycle of defeat and insecurity. On top of this, you are bombarded with negative news of school shootings, increased violence on the streets, the market crash, economic collapse, and wars in foreign countries.
My Declaration of Faith:
Some days, the facts stare me in the face: situations that look impossible, dreams that feel out of reach, relationships that seem too far gone to heal. In those moments, doubt creeps in, whispering, “It’s not going to change. You’ve prayed, but nothing’s happening. Maybe it’s just not meant to be.”
But I’m learning not to give doubt the final say.
