The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 85
What is the Confession of Your Faith?
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
– Hebrews 10:23
The world is being plagued by diseases and natural disasters that are threats to the lives of people and the world’s economies. Many persons have died and are dying daily. Many persons are mourning the death of their loved ones. Unemployment has increased as many persons have lost their jobs and are now struggling to make ends meet. Some people resort to violence and crime out of frustration because they don’t know what else to do. The trauma caused by these plagues has caused many people to suffer with anxiety and depression. Consequently, the quality of life for many persons has eroded as they try to weather the storms of these pandemic and catastrophes.
These are times of uncertainties and many persons are fearful, anxious and depressed because they are uncertain about what the future holds. Sadly, many Christians fall in this group of people who are being crippled by fear and anxiety. This is because the spirit of religion that is so prevalent in the world today has deceived persons into focusing on traditions that make the Word of God void (see Mark 7:13). Therefore, they have a form of godliness and deny the power thereof (2 Timothy 3:5).
Nevertheless, Almighty God is the only solution for all the world’s problems. He is in control, rules the world with the palm of His hand and everything obeys Him (see Ecclesiasticus 18:3). His Word is filled with precious promises for your protection, provision, healing, deliverance, guidance and successful living. Everything you need that pertains to life and godliness God has already provided for you (see 2 Peter 1:3). All God’s promises are yes and amen (see 2 Corinthians 1:20). They are sure and you can be confident in them.
What is the confession of your faith? Are you confessing what the daily news say about the condition of the world? Or, is the confession of your faith God’s promises for you in His Word? Then do not compromise the confession of your faith in God by substituting it for the solutions offered by the systems of the world if they are not in synchronization with God’s Words. Maintain your integrity in adversity like Job (Job 27:5). In order to see the consistent manifestation of the promises of God in your life you must possess an attitude in which you get the Word of God concerning each promise in your heart, agree and align with what God says until they become yours and your heart becomes one with God’s heart. Let your heart tightly embrace, hold down, take control of, and dominate God’s promises. No matter what is happening in the world, do not bend the confession of your faith but keep it fixed, unmoving, stable and enduring because He Who promised is faithful.
God bless you!
MY PRAYER FOR TODAY
Abba, I worship and adore You for You alone are worthy. Thank You for Your precious promises in Your Word to meet my every need. I declare that I will hide God’s promises in my heart, agree and align my heart with them until they become mine and my heart becomes one with God’s. As my heart tightly embraces God’s promises I will not bend the confession of my faith but keep it stable and enduring because God Who promised is faithful. I pray this by faith in Jesus’ precious name with thanksgiving. Amen!
