We wish for calorie free foods. That’s just the beginning; we wish for trouble free days. Wishful thinking comes naturally. Trusting God is a different matter.

What will I do when trouble targets me?

Recently, I had an encouraging thought. I hope it helps you too. We fold our hands in prayer and raise them in praise; they can be reminders too. They can become weapons against panic.

Look closely at your left hand and begin counting your fingers…

1-F

2-A

3-I

4-T

5-H

We don’t have to panic; God will never forsake us. Faith overcomes fear.

“Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will also help you,
I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10 NASB).”

I'm not finished yet; now, turn your eyes to the right hand. Count those fingers.

1-T

2-R

3-U

4-S

5-T

Banish fear; trust the LORD.

“When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You (Psalm 56:3 NASB)."
