We have all had those times when we feel alone and afraid. We are living in anxious times to say the least. We are bombarded by a multitude of news stories on our televisions, our smart phones, and all the other devices that we have. We can know what is going on in our world in a matter of minutes if not seconds. There seems to be a lot of bad news in our world these days and things seem to be getting worse.
There are a lot of things that can cause us to worry and to be anxious. Sometimes we have this uneasiness within us that we just can't explain. We get so bombarded by bad news that we wonder what will happen next. We are living in fearful and perilous times.
The good news is that no matter what troubles come to our world we believers in Jesus Christ can have confidence that He will be with us each step of the way on our journey with Him. God hasn't left us to fend for ourselves. When we come to faith in Christ the Holy Spirit comes to indwell us so we are never truly alone.
There will be times when we get lonely and scared. There will be times when we will wonder if anyone cares. There will be times when loved ones will be far away from us for one reason or another. We can take comfort in that the Lord will always remain by our side. God loves us and He cares for us. The Lord Jesus sticks closer to us than a brother.
The Lord is crazy about us and His love lasts forever. The grace of our Lord Jesus is greater than our sin. We are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other Name under Heaven in which we must be saved by and that Name is Jesus Christ.
There is no greater friend we can know than Jesus. The Lord will lead us and guide us by His Spirit. The Lord will protect us and comfort us in the most difficult and trying times of life. There is a lot of turmoil in our world these days, but we who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ can be confident that we are on the winning side. At the very end of all things we know that God wins. We can take comfort in that if we belong to Him. We can belong to Him by placing our faith and trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross.
We must not allow fear to control us. It is easy for us to be afraid and worried. It is easy to be anxious and lose faith. It is all to easy to hide away and try to avoid danger. What we need is a deeper trust in the Lord our God.
I am still learning to trust the Lord in many areas of my life. I have learned that one way that the Lord helps us to trust Him is that He makes us wait and at the same time we learn patience as well. The more the Lord teaches me the more I realize my absolute need for Him in all areas of my life.
When times get tough and worry and fear try to destroy us we need to call out to the Lord and trust that He is there with us. God hasn't abandoned us. We are His and nothing can change that if we have received Christ as Savior.
The Lord will be with us no matter where we go. We can trust Him to be there with us each step of the way. When we feel alone and we feel like nobody cares for us we can trust that Jesus cares.
Lord,
Thank You that You care for us.
Thank You for loving us.
Thank You for Your grace Lord Jesus.
Help us to trust You more and help us to be patient.
Lead us and guide us by the Holy Spirit and Your Holy Word.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
