WHEN THINGS FALL APART

Cyclone

In this world we are faced by many situations that can result in severe stress, anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, grief, hopelessness and many other tumultuous emotions. These feelings can overwhelm us, ruin our health, and diminish our ability to move forward.

But when we trust God and seek His guidance, He helps us make our way courageously through uncharted waters. He gives us his peace; a calmness and joy that knows no understanding, so that we develop a better sense of control over our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to make good decisions and move forward.

“The cyclone derives its powers from a calm centre. So does a person.” Norman Vincent Peale.

The Word of the Lord bids us to be strong and courageous as we face the storms. “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

In which storm will you trust the Lord for deliverance? Seek to have a calm centre and you will acquire the power you seek.

Deliberate Faith

An eagle soaring in flight

Soar high like an eagle

“So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech”. 2 (Thessalonians 2:15-17 MSG)

Do you remember a time when you prayed desperately and God immediately answered your prayers? Or a time when you prayed and waited patiently for something which eventually came to pass? Or even a time when you prayed for something that you did not get but came to realize that it was better for you that way?

Every day as we grow in our faith in Christ we learn to trust God and become mature practicing Christians. We are empowered to carry on our day to day activities with every hope of success; believing God’s word and acting on the basis of the reality of His promises.
