Overcoming Fear & Anxiety نموونە
Go For Breakthrough.
As we see with Joseph, who was brought up to a higher position after he was released from prison, and Paul, who wrote much of what we read in the New Testament from prison, and many others who faced opposition in scripture, there is breakthrough and transformation available for you too. Whatever you might be facing today and however it makes you feel, don’t just settle for making it through but break through to the other side. You don’t have to come out of a difficult season the same way you went into it.
Romans 8:28 tells us that God is constantly working in all things, in every area, and putting them together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. That means that even the details that seem disappointing, confusing, or worrisome now are each a significant thread in the tapestry that He is weaving together in your life and it is for your good. 2 Corinthians 3:18 presses in further, describing how He is bringing us from glory to glory as He transforms us through these details in our lives.
The glorious presence of God and the power that is in His word doesn’t eliminate the suffering; it overcomes the suffering. It is still a difficult path to walk, but we can do it. “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!” Jesus says. “I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
It is in these moments of trouble when you have the opportunity to experience what Paul wrote about while he was in prison: the peace of God that passes all understanding and guards our hearts and our minds. We literally don’t even understand how it’s possible to feel so much peace when what we see looks so scary, but it happens! Jesus made a way, and He wants you to know it’s available to you right now.
Take a moment to get into the presence of God, meditate on these scriptures, and ask Him to reveal what He is doing or wants to do in you during this time so that you come out on the other side stronger than before. If you need it, ask Him to help increase your faith to believe that He has everything you need and a peace that goes beyond your understanding and your circumstances.
