It seems like our culture is filled with fear and anxiety. I’m sure there have been other times in history when fear dominated the thinking of many, but so many lack the emotional support and foundation of values to be resilient. If there could be a plan to undermine confidence in the future, from a secular view, it would include strategies for enhancing anger, division, despair and disillusionment. It’s easy to be sucked into a vortex of negativity if we are not steadfastly rooted in God’s sovereignty and love. Life is filled with tests to filter out our anxieties and trust Him more deeply.
Lord, empower us to see through the strategies to undermine our faith in you. Help us to surrender ourselves to your sovereignty and protection from despair.
“God longs for us to be fully alive, soaring into the sky and bearing witness to God’s good life that is available to us. But if we hope to be shaped and changed in this way of life, we must have a root system powerful enough to hold us together.” Excerpt, The Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas
