That attitude of holding on

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9 NKJV)

Faith doesn’t somehow make you impervious to problems, fears, or worries about what might come in the future. Faith doesn’t overcome what hasn’t happened yet. But it is there when you need it most, when you are face to face with something that is beyond you.

You cannot put your faith in anything in this world, because sooner or later everything of this world will fail. I alone have the ability to cause all things to work together for good for you. You’ll see what I have promised come to pass.

Even if you are shaking in your boots, none of that matters, because it’s not you that has to overcome by your own might. And even if you feel you don’t have the strength to hold on to Me, I’ve promised to hold on to you.

That attitude of holding on is a key part of strengthening your faith each day. Use your trust in Me to motivate you to pray for others in their struggles and to lift up the hands that hang down, even if your own hands are trembling.

The core of faith is love, your love and trust in Me, My walking in love with you. It’s trusting in the incontrovertible fact that I will never leave you nor forsake you. - Jesus [1]

When the storm seems to overpower you, hold tight, for it is only passing… Your holding onto and not quitting is also progress which no one might have told you ― Hiral Nagda
