Even when it seems I'm surrounded
by many liars and my own fears,
and though I'm hurting in my suffering and trauma,
I still stay faithful to God and I speak words of faith.
Psalm 116:10-11 (TPT)
Lord, in the midst of turmoil and fear, give me unwavering faith. Demolish every fear with your powerful love. I let go of every thought that tries to make my problems look bigger than you. Nothing is too hard for you. Nothing.
I believe. In the areas where I struggle with unbelief, I ask for your mercy. I'll stand and declare your promises, letting them penetrate deep into my heart, so they become life within me. I remind myself of the many times you've come through for me before. You've never forgotten me, and even when it feels as if you have, I'll shake off the lie and lean into your love.
I release control and the need to understand. I seek you for wisdom and trust that if there's anything you want me to do besides believe, you'll show me. I refuse to worry. I was created to trust you and be at peace. Give me eyes to see this situation the way you do.
You'll get me through this. You love me. Faith gives me the victory.
