― J. Martin, Live a Life Without Fear: Anchor yourself in faith

“Maybe the closed door, the bad break, the disappointment, is setting you up for something that you have yet to see? Most people, when they have a setback, let it affect their spirit. They seek revenge; they let feelings of bitterness and resentment into their hearts. They become disconnected from God and live a limited life where they blame everyone but themselves for their shortcomings. Don't let a hurt, a betrayal, or a delay; keep you from your destiny.  What you’re unable to see is God behind the scenes orchestrating things in your favour. Lining up the circumstances to lead you in the right direction, moving the wrong people out of the way. What may seem permanent is only temporary.”

“Most people have the ability strength and creativity to achieve great things, but they have allowed anger, pain, and self-judgment to hold them back. Making them feel not good enough, not talented enough, feeling that they are lacking in some way.

But when you look through the lens of faith, ideas, opportunities and resources will reveal themselves. When you make the proper sacrifices and have faith, you will see many significant changes, you will be happier, you will be healthier and have peace of mind. The Lord will light your path, helping you overcome every obstacle that stands in your way. Choose to ignite your flame of faith today, so that you glow from within. Rid yourself from negativity, follow your heart, and live out your destiny.”

“If you are feeling fearful at this time, I recommend avoiding negative sources of information. The people around us can have the best of intentions, keeping us up to date and informed about what is going on. Still, if that negativity makes you feel anxious or depressed, I would suggest taking a step back and seeing how it helps your mental health. What is happening in the world we cannot control. The only person you can control is YOU, and that’s where your focus should go. Now is an excellent time to improve your skills and learn something new. Even to plan what you will do when everything opens up again. Planning shows expectancy, the cornerstone of faith.”

“Dear Lord, I admit that I often forget that you are with me. Would you please forgive me for that? I need to get to know you better. I need to get to know your Word and your promises better. Help me to put you first in every area of my life. Help me to live one day at a time. Help me to not worry about tomorrow, but instead focus on what you’re doing in my life right now. Help me to trust you more and worry less. I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.” Say this every day for a week and see the difference it makes.”

“Never Doubt His Plan A cargo helicopter flying over Alaska had some engine trouble. The pilot did excellent work to get the aircraft down, but electrics had been damaged, meaning he couldn't radio for help. He knew a search party would be looking for him, but there was such a vast area to cover. Being from a family of deep faith, he started to pray for God to send the rescuers in the right direction. Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse. One day while out getting freshwater, there was an electrical fire in the helicopter. He stood at a safe distance and watched it going up in flames. Then the gas tank exploded. He fell to his knees as it did. Watching his pride and joy go up in smoke felt like pouring salt on his wounds. He cried out to God, "I give up, I ask you to help me, and this happens. A few hours later he heard a distance sound, he perked up, he couldn't see anything, but it kept getting closer. Next thing he saw a helicopter in the distance, it was the coast guard coming to rescue him. When they landed, he ran over and gave them a big hug—asking how in the world did they find him. It turned out the smoke from the wreckage had travelled over 300 miles with the wind. The rescue team had followed the smoke. Sometimes what looks like a disappointment is God positioning us for a new level. If your helicopter is on fire today, so to speak, instead of being bitter, complaining, being upset. Have a new perspective, trust in God's plan. It may not make sense now. Being stranded is tough; being in the pits of life will feel uncomfortable. The setbacks, the closed doors can be discouraging, but you have to remind yourself. It's not working against you; it's working for you. Now you only see in part, but one day you will see in full.”

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow Me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

“thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.”

“It’s not in your nature to live in fear, worry or anxiety. Negative feelings don't have control over you — you have control over them, but you can’t sit inactive. It says in Romans 12:2, do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Our thoughts are the guiding force of our lives, so when we lose control of them a small problem can escalate quickly. Quite literally turning a molehill into a mountain. We must actively work towards the renewal of our minds. A renewed mind transforms worry into worship, problems into blessings, and faith into joy. So instead of worrying start living your life and stop getting lost within your thoughts. Believe in yourself, and never let anyone bring you down. You have everything within you to conquer your fears. So, rise up and face any challenges that may come your way, knowing that God is by your side. Psalm 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”
