You Don’t Have To
Feel Strong To Be Brave
We don’t always have to have changed circumstances to be changed. We don’t always have to have favourable experiences to carry hope. We don’t always have to feel strong to know we’re brave. We don’t always have to be without doubts to believe. Even if we feel anxious or afraid we don't have to engage with it.
When we get ourselves grounded in the one called Jesus Christ, who is the living word – otherwise known as the bible – we can be undefeatable.
He brings blessing with the blood, beauty when bereft, and boldness even when uncertain.
So don't run from God and get angry or frustrated or dismissive. Run to Him and discover what He has for you in the middle of everything. Seek God for scriptures that are personal for you. They will anchor you in faith and establish your future. They will give you hope.
Isaiah 43:1-3 (NLT)
I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Psalm 34:4-5 (ESV)
“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.”
Romans 5:13 (NIV)
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 11:29 (ESV)
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
No, you don’t have to feel strong to be brave. You just have to believe.
Mark 5:36 (GNT)
Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but told him, "Don't be afraid, only believe."
