God's Promises | When you are Burdened by Doubt

Jesus said: 

⁷ “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

⁹ “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Matthew 7:7-11

² Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,³ because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ⁴ Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. ⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

James 1:2-8

“Every word of God is flawless; 

    he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Proverbs 30:5

Be blessed. 

Victory over Anxiety

"worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives us something to do but doesn't get us anywhere."

i was not happy about myself because of being worried oftentimes. I've been struggling about this matter for such a long time. i know i have to remind myself always to stop worrying to much. Instead, i should remind myself of the passage in the Bible found in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

the passage was very clear but  most of the time i failed to do what it says. i easily become stressed and upset whenever problems and concerns came into my mind. even in simple and small things, i struggle not to worry. it's just like a virus that corrupts my mind and heart . it hinders me to think about the things that are more significant than worrying.

i really know that i should stop myself from worrying too much. although worrying is a vital thing in human life, it comes naturally when we are facing tough situations. but the truth is, it's not really good for us and it's not really good for me. if i truly trust that the Sovereign God is in control of my life, i have no excuses to fret. instead, i must choose to cast all my cares upon the Lord and rest in Him. for God is more than able to handle my problems and concerns.

Evidently, God desired to confirmed His crystal clear message to me through Philippians 4:6-7. i was also reminded about how Jesus Christ exhorts His followers not to worry about the necessities of life. if the Father attends to the needs of the simple birds and flowers of the field, will He not more so take care of His Children's needs?

it would be a good new years resolution to be worry-free throughout the year and to choose the pathway of peace. 

thanks be to God for another way to reinforce the lesson, He is patiently teaching me.

are you experiencing the same? 

just allow God to control your life for He cares so much about you.

He's the prince of peace who can give you and me and all of us the peace that surpasses all understanding. and that will help us to have Victory over all our worries and fears.

to God be the Glory for all the great things He has done.

Happy weekend!
