I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.

Psalm 37:25 English Standard Version

  Never be afraid or ashamed about your circumstance. Never feel worthless or feel alone. Put your trust in God for He has promised to stand besides you and walk gently with you through the darkest night and fiercest storm. Lean on Him with whatever you are facing. Let Him steer your course and direct your life journey.

Turn your fears and worries over to God because carrying them doesn't make your life easier or better. Rather, choose to move forward with faith and confidence. Remember what David said in Psalm 37:25. He has never seen God forsaking the righteous and neither had he seen their children begging for food. In other words, faith gives you a future and hope that only God can provide.

God is faithful.

Learn to recognise the unlimited immensity of God's love and you will see yourself as one who is the beloved of God. It is difficult to be defeated by difficulties or the devil while you feel worthy and valued as a child of God and know that God is the perfect Father who loves you with perfect love.

Perfect love casts out fear. We fear not because we don't know what tomorrow may bring. We fear because we don't know the One who holds our tomorrow in His hands. Stop counting each day as either good or bad. Rather, learn to rejoice each day is another day to enjoy the steadfast love of the Lord.

Grow your faith in God.

Genuine faith comes from knowing God is love and simply living in its reality every day. The more you perceive God's love for you, the more you are able to receive from His love. Faith is the sweet fruit of the Spirit that flourishes in your heart through an intimate friendship and relationship with God. When faith blossoms into this sure and certain hope that anchors deep in your heart—you become so fully persuaded in trusting God that nothing wavers you.
