Fear or Faith

This is Ron with your Motivational Message:

A friend of mine stopped by and we were in the process of brainstorming a word of inspiration to bring a little sunshine into your day. I have to say, I was at a loss and my mind could not think of anything to inspire.  I asked him, “what do you do when you’re out of ammo and your knife is broken?”  My friend laughed and said, “I think I would probably pray.”  So, that is exactly what we did.  During the time we prayed the rain hammered down on the roof, but our prayers calmed our hearts and minds.  During our quiet time of prayer I was overwhelmed with peace, hope and love.  It helped me remember the promises God has for me.

I can tell you that I struggle, because it is easy to look around today and see all the material stuff that the world equates with success: cars, businesses, houses and fancy vacations.  My focus and dreams have been tainted by what this world tells me I should have and want; things that compete for my faith.  But during this time of prayer I was able to focus on what I do have faith in, and I can tell you that none of the glitz of this world compares.  I think of the homeless man I passed yesterday with a sign in his hand, sitting on the curb.  His reality is full of judgment and fear of the unknown.  He has nothing to spare, not even a smile.  However, deep inside, he’s a man like me, longing for peace of mind and a place to belong.

During the prayer, I felt a spark that ignited a burning desire to find my dreams again.  I pray for you today that a spark would arise within your heart to find truth.  So our prayer for you, in the midst of your struggles and strife, is that you will be free from fear and be focused on faith instead.  That the fire of faith would burn again. That in spite of what you see around you, the light of a new dream will brighten your soul. Will you pray this prayer with me?  Pray that each new day we will know that God will show us the way and that we’ll have the strength to pursue the path he sets before us.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.   Jeremiah 29:11
