Introduction
Life can be tough, but we have something strong to help us – our faith in God. Let us look at how having faith can make us feel strong, peaceful, and ready to face anything.
Are you scared?
It’s okay to feel scared or worried; everyone does. Life can be tricky, and things can be uncertain. But the first step is to understand and admit when we’re feeling this way.
Bible Verse: “Don’t worry about anything. Instead, talk to God about everything. Tell Him what you need, and thank Him. Then you’ll feel peace, even if you don’t understand why.” – Philippians 4:6-7
The Power of Faith
Faith is like trusting in God, even when things are tough. When we have faith, it’s like having a shield that protects us from feeling too scared. It’s knowing that God is with us and helps us stay strong.
Bible Verse: “God says, ‘Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. I will make you strong and help you. I will support you with my right hand.'” – Isaiah 41:10
Surrendering Anxiety through Prayer
When we feel scared, we can talk to God through prayer. It’s like having a chat with a friend. We tell God what’s bothering us, and it helps us feel better because we know He cares.
Bible Verse: “Tell God everything that’s worrying you. He cares about you a lot.” – 1 Peter 5:7
Remembering What God Promises
The Bible has lots of promises from God that can make us feel better. When we remember these promises, it’s like having a safety net. We know God is looking out for us.
Bible Verse: “God promises to be with us wherever we go. We can be strong and brave because of that.” – Joshua 1:9
Cultivating a Spirit of Gratitude
When we’re thankful for the good things in our lives, it helps us feel happy and less scared. Gratitude is like a special tool that makes our hearts feel full and peaceful.
Bible Verse: “Always be happy, keep praying, and be thankful no matter what happens. This is what God wants for you because you believe in Jesus.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Conclusion
So, let’s be brave together. When we feel scared, we can trust in God. By understanding our feelings, having faith, talking to God, remembering His promises, and being thankful, we can find peace. With God by our side, we can face each day with courage and calmness. Amen.
