Sat chip Fear /Faith

For me it is during troubling and stressful times that fear can rise up to the surface. Also projecting into the future and the "what ifs" can arouse fear. But for me this is God challenging me. Testing my faith. Am I still going to believe even though I faced with all these struggles?

I had been away from God for way too long and I refuse to shut Him out ever again. He is always there for me. Rock solid and true. No matter the hour, or the day or the conditions all I have to do is pray for His guidance. Just knowing that He is near is of the greatest comfort.

Without God and faith in my life there are all the negative defects. The insanity and the chaos run a muck. God and my faith in Him keeps me on the straigth and narrow. He shows me the right way to live. How to behave as one of His gifted children. How to appreciate life for all that it is.

I don't want to sound all preachy but right now God and prayer is a very big part of my day. It is from Him that I have the strength to go on.

Love & God Bless

Not p[reachy at all...jsut very spiritually centered. I also rely on my faith when times are the toughest. But the cool part..i can rely on it when things are going smoothly!

Fear and faith cant reside in the same place at thes ame time. So when I feel the first inkling of FEAR, i kick in my FAITH to high gear and it voershadows and replaces any fear.

I ahve a wonderfull prayer card taped to my printer..i se it throughout each day...
LORD, helpe me remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that you and i together can't handle. That thought gets me thru many tough times.

Fear.
Faith.
Fear..........LOL
Fear and some faith? LOL

Okay, loads of faith and a need to surrender a fear to the Big Guy cuz He ain't failed me yet!

Sometimes I fail to give up that which I fear cuz what if THIS is the one thing He doesn't get around to taking care of? Or better still--what if He doesn't take care of it the way I WANT Him to take care of it? *rolling eyes* Sometimes I can know stuff in my head and yet stand in the way of letting it drop to my heart.
Oy, brother--someone whap me!

I darn well know that G-d is FOR me. Sometimes I AM my own worst enemy and a stubborn cuss. "Run it til the wheels fall off" has been my M.O. for a heck of a long time. You'd think by now, I'd "GET" how easy it all becomes when I simply surrender and get outta G-d's way.

MORE proof of why I need to keep coming back!

The good news? I know that third step prayer REAL well (lots of practice, you know LOL).
Thinkin' me and G-d need to have a moment together so I can get outta His way, huh?

This is a good chip for me today. There is a lot of fear around the fact that I haven't heard from my son for two weeks tomorrow. There has been a lot of fear around my move and the area that I moved into, yet it was the only place available, so I have faith that God will see me through this and things will turn out as they are suppose to be, not as I would have them.

Many doors have closed, and a couple have opened. Many are yet to be disclosed, yet I know God is as He reveals Himself to me today and more will be revealed
