Do you realize there are times when we are all afraid? The Psalmist made a clear statement of faith in Psalm 56:3, "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You." What I gathered from this passage is the fact there will be times when you and I are fearful and do not know what will happen next. We may be disillusioned by the condition of this present world or the things we are facing, but we must push with everything within us to trust in the Faithfulness of a Mighty God.
Because we live in a fallen world, we will face sickness, pain, death, tragedy, hard times and struggles in relationships. Mankind has been granted a free will by God and will continue to walk his own way and make decisions that do not line up with God's Divine and perfect plan.
What we can do to better the hard situations of life is simply to draw close to and trust in God. Work hard to allow God to be the driving force within you and pray often. Listen for the voice of God and do the will of God with the decisions you make in life.
God desires to bless you. He desires to keep you well and strong. He wants your relationships to be wholesome and pure. So develop a heart like His and a spiritual ear that is open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God wants His very best for you. Therefore, when life has been hard and you find yourself afraid, push through and place your trust in the Lord.
