So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3:26-29, NIV
When all we look forward is the negative, we let defeat win. The day we stop fighting and let are faith down, doubt creeps in. Today I learned doubt, fear, and worry is something that you and I can let God handle. I can trust God.
Psalm 20:7: Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
In modern times, today's Scripture would say, "Some trust in money and some in their job. Some trust in what the economists say, but we trust in the God who created it all. He's called Jehovah Jireh, 'the Lord our Provider.'" When you meditate on that, you won't have fear. You'll have peace and be at rest. You know God is in control, and He can give you victory.
But it all depends on what's going on in your thought life. You can meditate on the problem, or you can meditate on the promises. When you meditate on the problem, you are allowing the fear to be a bully and we know God is way bigger than any little ole fear. Meditating on the problem doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. If you don't set your mind on trusting God, the enemy will set it for you. He will remind you of how bad you have it, how many mistakes you've made, and all the people who have come against you, on and on. Your life is going to follow your thoughts.
You declare just the opposite. You are victorious. You have already won because and defeated fear but the Christ that lives within you has conquered FEAR already! Say this today: I believe and declare that You give me peace, and I will rest in You in all the circumstances of my life."

I pray that I continue to put my faith and trust in You because You know all things. You know what the hearts of Your people need, and I know You will help me through whatever this life brings. In Jesus name, Amen."
