What you’re feeding is what’s growing. Don’t feed what you don’t want to grow. There’s a mighty hero waiting to emerge in you. Feed the promises God put in your heart. Starve the doubt and feed your faith.
Your joy is what’s going to help you keep believing and keep standing strong. When you hold to your joy, you’re showing God that you trust Him. You have to get your joy back, so you’ll have the strength to step into the new things God has for you.
God has not given us that spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. When you’re tempted to be afraid, live anxious, worried about how it’s going to work out, you need to do like David and remind yourself, the Lord is my Shepherd. Still your emotions. Come back to a place of peace.
