Having Confidence in Christ
From CDM
What blocks the manifestation of the promises is when we let stress, anxiety, and worry push us out of that place of rest. This is exactly what the devil wants, but whatever happens, we mustn’t lose focus on the grace of God. The only time stress and anxiety threatened to overcome Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane, but He overcame these emotions by acknowledging His trust in God’s ability to take Him through everything He had to go through on our behalf.
Faith is required if we are to experience God’s best in our lives, but it won’t always be easy. When we feel outside pressure weighing on us, it takes work to stay at peace. Leaning on Christ gives us the strength for the task and the confidence we need to stand firm.
Prayer:
Father God, You sent us Your Son to give us someone in whom we can truly have confidence. Though I’m prone to make mistakes, You are not. Total faith and trust in You brings me to that place of rest where I can find peace, and You never let me go even when fear or stress tries to knock me out of that rest. In Jesus’ name, I thank You. Amen.
