Strength to Stand

There is no middle ground between fear and faith, and faith is the only way we’re going to make it! It’s time we stop allowing the enemy to trick us into thinking that obsessing over problems will change them. It won’t. Fear and faith cannot coexist. All that the Lord does, he does through faith. It’s time to tear the enemy of fear from our souls!

Our strength to stand in the face of opposition depends on our ability to trust him and to lift our attention to his love, faithfulness, and goodness. When we lower our gaze to our situations, it stirs our anxiety and causes us to falter. If we feel overwhelmed, heavy, and stressed, it’s not because we don’t have the power to shake it off. It’s because we haven’t fully released the problem to him.

Father, forgive me for agreeing with fear and not fully trusting you. Instead of focusing on the weightiness of this problem and losing my footing, I choose to stand in faith. You know me. You see every situation with clarity. You have the answer, and because I know you love me, I will trust in you.

Isaiah 7:9
The Passion Translation

“If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not be able to stand at all!”
