When unexpected things
happen — trials, difficulty or tragedy — the enemy sends a whirlwind of fear
to try to shake our faith and steal our focus. His goal is to take our
eyes off of God and cause us to feel overwhelmed by circumstances. But if
we will choose to stay focused on the love of God, if we choose to
meditate on His goodness, the truth will set us free from fear and ground
our hearts in confidence.
Today, know that God
loves you perfectly. He is a good God. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that His
plans for us are for good. He has thoughts of peace, not for evil. He
wants to give you a future and hope. Anytime thoughts of fear come,
replace them with words of love. Just declare, “Thank You, God, for
loving me. Thank You for leading me into peace. Thank You for hope for my
future.” As you meditate on His love and goodness, you’ll feel faith rise
up in your heart. You’ll feel hope, you’ll feel strength, and you’ll feel
empowered to move forward in the good path He has prepared for you.

Father, thank
You for loving me. Thank You for Your hand of grace upon me. I trust that
You are with me, that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Help me to
always keep my eyes on You, the Author and Finisher of my faith in Jesus’
name. Amen.
