It is frightening the power we give fear over us. Is that a redundant sentence? The way it feeds on itself and grows and snowballs -- given the not infrequent weakness of our minds -- especially when our fear filter is being blasted at by outside forces that monetize our anxiety… Yikes!
What can be done to defend against this onslaught and to hold onto and even grow our sanity? Trust in Christ. That is all we can do. Everything else falls short.
Don’t tempt the darkness by making foolish decisions but don’t hide from it either. Face it head on with the words “Jesus I trust in You” in your heart and on your lips. God’s providential care for you is stronger than any force in the world -- way stronger even than the forces that appear to have the power to destroy your life.
Now is a time for great courage from us average men and women. Repeat the words “Jesus I trust in You,” over and over again and offer a smile to the people you encounter, they are made for Heaven, too. If just a few of us commit to doing this every single day we will stem the tide of fear and help make way for a brilliant dawn to break. God bless you in whatever you are struggling with today.
Jesus I trust in You!
