Our world is constantly changing, and there are times that the changes
are overwhelming and confusing. We can easily lose connection with the ones we
love. This creates fear in ourselves and our relationships.
We can even begin to doubt God. This doubt comes from fear. When we
encounter this fear, we need to breathe deeply to calm ourselves. We need to
focus on God and his love. Allow the Holy Spirit to transcend every
circumstance in our life.
As we connect with the love of God, we reconnect with loved ones. Fear
and doubt go away. Our faith is strengthened, and we can face the world with
confidence. We are empowered to fall all challenges, trusting the outcome to
God.
Every day we experience new situations and challenges. Often these
situations and challenges are stressful, and create fear. Our past blueprint of
fear can cause us to expect an unpleasant outcome.
We need to consciously choose to let go of any fear-based blueprints.
We need to breathe deeply, and ask God to take away what we fear. Ask God to
replace fear and dread with expecting good. We know that even in difficult
circumstances, God’s guidance will not fail. Our strength and energy during
these times will come from God. We need to expect good in our life because that
is what God wants for us.
“For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to
you, “Do not fear, I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13
