My Declaration of Faith:
I may be in a season of waiting, but I refuse to lose hope. Just because I don’t see things shifting yet doesn’t mean God isn’t working behind the scenes. His Word reminds me, “Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised.” (Hebrews 10:36)
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10
What are you expecting God to do for you today? Do you truly believe He will answer? Do you trust that He can change your situation? Can He still do the impossible? No matter where your faith stands, you can still believe that God is able to do exceedingly more than you ask or imagine.
My Declaration of Faith:
Today I anchor my heart in this truth: God is faithful. When I don’t see how things can work out, when my strength feels small, I remember that His promises never fail. Just like Sarah, who received strength to conceive because she “judged Him faithful who had promised” (Hebrews 11:11), I choose to place my confidence not in my own ability, but in His faithfulness.
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.”
Psalm 34:17
What do you think people normally do if they get into a jam? They would immediately panic. They would fall into a trap of worrying about the situation and wondering how they would ever get out of it. This is the natural reaction of the flesh, and it doesn’t get you anywhere. The word of God even says that the flesh profits nothing, for it is the Spirit that quickens. You see, all the flesh could ever do in a time of crisis is to relate itself to past experiences to try to figure out a way to get out of that problem.
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”
Psalm 103:2
Do you believe in coincidences or God incidents happening in your life? A coincidence is something that’s not planned or arranged but seems like it is. The world may put their faith in coincidences when good things happen to them, but as a child of God, you can rest your faith in Him who always has your best interests at heart.
“looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2
There will be times when you are facing difficult situations in your life. It could be someone at work, a wayward child who doesn’t want to listen to you, a health crisis, a financial downturn due to losing your job, or someone who just cut you off in traffic.
My Declaration of Faith:
I’m not walking through life alone; I have a God who actually wants me to run to Him. He doesn’t roll His eyes when I cry out. He doesn’t push me away or grow tired of my fears or tears. No, He welcomes me.
“Then he got in the boat, his disciples with him. The next thing they knew, they were in a severe storm. Waves were crashing into the boat—and he was sound asleep!”
Matthew 8:23-25 (The Message)
Life can indeed be overwhelming at times, and it can also be unpredictable. You may have started the day singing, but after a few hours at work, you are coming home mad to the bone. You could have gone to the doctor for a basic check-up and come to find out you are diagnosed with a terminal disease. You could be driving to the grocery store, and someone has chosen your car to get into an accident with. As you are going about your day, you receive a phone call that you dread hearing about your children or loved ones. You woke up in the morning expecting good things to happen, then you see on television that the whole world market is tanking, including your portfolio. What do you do when negative things suddenly pop their ugly head into your life when you least expect it? How would you respond to that?
