Things about my personal faith in Jesus Christ

Choices
Taken from
WHOSE CHOICE IS IT?
When sitting in a stillness before God, I often ponder my choices.
· My choice to be quiet and choose rest.
· My choice to live a life of faith.
· My choice to forgive others leads to my freedom.
· My choice to let go of the things I cannot control.
· My choice to accept the promises of God for my life.
· My choice to trust in His faithfulness regardless of my circumstances.
Life can be difficult and draining. We encounter problems, failures, and various overwhelming issues. Often, we want to shift blame and point a finger. We can easily fall into a “victim” mentality. We feel defensive.
After years of coaching and mentoring, I wrestle with the profound question: “Who is in charge of me/you?” Is it your boss, your neighbor, or your little brother? Is it still your mother or father? At some point, we all realize that we must take responsibility for our daily responses and decisions. We can aimlessly blame our lives away, like a victim, or we can take smart steps to walk towards a victory for greater, more powerful tomorrows…. starting today!

I’m scared
Wow. What a great and honest prayer from today’s devotion.
Day 4 “God, I’m scared and I feel so alone. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through this. Please be with me and silence my fear. Remind me of your strength and power in my life, and comfort me with your presence. Amen.”

Decisions
The truth is that God wants to talk with you about your decisions, and is waiting for you to bring these decisions to Him.

Cling to God’s Promises
Cling to God’s Promises
What do you think about?
The thoughts you fill your mind with are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview.
If you choose to dwell on God’s promises, you start to recognize God’s blessings during uncertain times. Trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting.
Isaiah 12:2 reminds us that we belong to a God who is faithful to keep His promises. This God rescues us and fights for us. So when we belong to God, we have nothing to fear—all we need to do is cling to God and wait on Him to act.
So as you walk forward today, reflect on some of God’s promises, and let them transform the way you think:
God will sustain you. (Psalm 55:22)
God’s peace will guard your heart. (Philippians 4:7)
God delights over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. (Psalm 32:8)
God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need. (Psalm 46:1)
In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you. (Romans 8:37)
God will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
God’s perfect love casts out all your fear. (1 John 4:18)
Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:38-39)
God’s not done with you. God’s not done with you. God’s not done with you. (Philippians 1:6)
