“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.
My Declaration of Faith:
Today, I rest in this truth: my life is not random. I’m not here by accident. God, in His wisdom and love, created me with intentional purpose. Nothing about me is meaningless, because every part of my journey matters to Him.
“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.
