faith – belief and trust in and loyalty to God. belief in the traditional doctrines of religion. firm belief in something for which there is no proof
I don’t know about you but when my faith is struggling it tends to spill over into multiple areas of my life. From my career, to my relationships and beyond. I had never really thought about the correlation between my confidence and my faith. But my confidence levels are way higher when I trust more in the fact that God is in control. In these last few seasons of my life I have felt like God has been urging me trust myself more. In the process of me trying to do this, I lost sight of the fact that when I trust my Abba I am able to not only trust in myself, but my faith grows. I am learning that the things that I fear the most are the things that I most benefit from.

This morning I read a quote from my reading plan that said “The thoughts you fill your mind with are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview.”
Then during my morning yoga, my instructor talked about how chair pose (one of my least favorites tbh) is a great pose because it is not easy. But if you hold on and stay focused on the end goal you will gain a lot from the pose. The same can be said of life, it may throw curveballs and may get hard, but if you hold out and keep your focus on all you have to gain from the experience you will grow through it. For me, that means keeping my mind focused on the fact that everything in my life will work out for my good and God’s glory if I just stay focused on Him and my God given goals. God has been with me through every stage of my life and will continue to be with me as I grow.
So, as I keep walking on this journey to becoming fearless I will keep clinging to my Abba. I will not stop chasing the God dreams He has and is giving me. I will keep doing the things that scare me and trust that when I look back over my life I will see that in those times God never left my side.
And He never will.
