(In the previous blog post in the series, I wrote about Confronting Your Fears.)

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

In every situation let us ever seek God’s presence, involvement and assistance. The environment can feel so big and intimidating at times, and could even cause persons to briefly forget God’s leading in the past. The Bible has reassured us that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

As we go through challenging situations, in the areas of our lives where we previously believed that God had called us to move forward, are there things that are causing us to second guess God’s calling and His leading in our lives?

We are always in need of ensuring that we do not let our fears distort our perception of reality. The good news is that once we are aware of our need of God’s guidance, we can ask God to give us the right perspective and the objective assessment of each situation. Then we are able to address issues in the environment and go forward as God directs.

Then instead of seeing the magnitude of the opposing environment, we would see the providence and provision of a faithful God. Instead of seeing ourselves intimidated by a big world (which many times can be very non-supportive of what God is calling His people to do), we would see the world subjected to our God who made the universe.

Question:

What thoughts that are negatively affecting you do you need to give over to God?
