We are called in faith to trust the LORD in all that we do, no matter what. But, at times, because we are flesh, we can get caught up in the “world” and anxiety or worrisome thoughts might invade, or intrude into our thoughts and actions. Thereby creating a cycle of troublesome behavior that is contrary to trusting in God.

As children of the Almighty God we belong to a family of royalty, and are protected by His Sovereign Power and Grace.  We are told by Jesus to “trust the Father” and know that the “Father will take care of all things for us.”  So when we worry, or think about tomorrow, or the “what-if” scenarios, we are setting ourselves up for failure.  But, we are failing God in so doing, because God NEVER will fail us.

When thoughts of worry creep into our minds…ask the LORD to quicken His Word, and ask the Holy Spirit for help in ridding the negative and  troublesome thoughts from us.  When we realize the mind is a “battleground” between flesh and Spirit and we take up the weapons of our defense, “the Gospel Armor – Ephesians 6″ we are brought to the forefront of “victory” through Christ’ name and power.

Yes it can be challenging when we’re in the midst of a storm, and the world can drown out the music of the Word.  But, that’s when we need to stop, reflect, have trust and believe, we have a Father who is victorious, and Greater is the One in us than the one in the world. (1 John 4:4)
