Today‘s Inspiration: “The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for man comes from the Lord.” Proverbs 29:25-26 NKJV. Everyday we face many expectations from surroundings to be fulfilled and stress can easily creep in when we find that our mind is not longer able to cope. All these can give room to fear of how people will look at us or what if I don’t deliver what I am supposed to. Such fear can become a snare or hindrance to our faith.
Trusting the Lord is not about what I can do but God can do in our work, family and ministry. Stress comes when we are problem centric but faith emerges when we are Christ centric. Remember when Jesus told his disciples that they have little faith when they met with problems. He was not saying that the disciple has no faith but their faith is placed on themselves rather than God. Matthew 17:21. Miracles happen when God comes into the picture and prayer can move mountains. Praise God! 🙌🏻
Prayer: O Lord my God, let I be lesser and you be greater. No problems is too big for you and no requests is too small for you. In your Name, I break all snares of fear, anxiety and stress coming from man. I break all distractions and distresses that takes my dependency on you with prayer, petitions and thanksgiving. For you have not given me a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind to overcome all things through your Holy Spirit who helps me, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
