What if you lose your house to a fire? Or lose your investments to a market crash? What if you lose your health to a scary diagnosis? Or lose your freedoms to the government? What if you lose your spouse to death?
We have many concerns – concerns that carry dark emotions like anxiety, fear, and doubt.
Emotions can be huge. And heavy. And loud.
All emotions are important and should not be ignored. They have something to show us…when we stop to look.
The root of anxiety, fear, and doubt is found in the answer to this question...
What am I not believing about God’s character and promises in this situation?
Does it surprise you that you might be thinking something like this...
- I don’t believe God’s wisdom is greater than this problem.
- I don’t believe God’s provision will be enough for me.
- I don’t believe God’s love is deeper than my loss.
- I don’t believe God’s presence is closer than my concern.
- I don’t believe God’s dependability can be trusted.
- I don’t believe God’s strength is unwavering.
- I don’t believe God’s protection is secure.
- I don’t believe God’s will is best.
- I don’t believe God’s vantage point is far above this world.
- I don’t believe eternity with God is greater than the experiences of earth.

Bible Verse:
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, in the face of life’s uncertainties and losses, help me to find courage in who You are. You are my rock, my refuge, and my fortress. Your greatness extends to me today and every day. Teach me to grasp Your strength and love, knowing that nothing can separate me from Your care. Let my trust in Your character dispel my fears and anxieties, filling me with Your peace and courage. Amen.
