When Your Faith Is Tested

“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.”
Psalm 31:24

Even the most committed followers of Jesus Christ can find their faith tested by the inevitable disappointments and tragedies of life. After all, we live in a world filled with uncertainty, hardship, sickness and danger. Trials and tribulations, it seems, are never too far from the front door. 

When we focus upon our fears and our doubts, we may find many reasons to lie awake at night and worry about the uncertainties of the coming day. A better strategy, of course, is to focus not upon our fears, but instead upon our loving and caring Heavenly Father.

God is as near as your next breath, and He is in control. He offers salvation and peace to all His children, including you. God is your shield and your strength; you are His forever. So don’t focus your thoughts upon the fear of the day. Instead, trust God’s plan and His everlasting love for you. And remember: whatever the size of your challenge, God is BIGGER!!!

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, when I am fearful, help me to remember that You are my protector and my salvation. Give me the strength and courage to face the challenges of this day as I trust in You. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
