The only way to get that hope is by letting go of our need to hide and letting God heal our hurt
It’s important to constantly work at having the faith to be ourselves.
Confronting the moments when we think, act, respond, and make decisions as if God were not real and present in our lives.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
Guilt is overwhelming, but God can free us from it. We must learn how to deal with guilt biblically so that we don’t get overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety, and emotionalism it causes.
When we live with a genuine faith in God, we are not afraid to dream, imagine, sacrifice, or take risks. Our confidence is in the God of Scripture, whose presence and power flow through those who have chosen to believe.
Faith makes the impossible possible. Our relationship with God should produce the kind of faith that moves mountains.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Can you relate to the frustration of trusting God the least when you need him the most?
