“Worrying is saying to God, ‘I know your intent is to leave me unprotected and vulnerable. Hold fast things are not what they appear. He will not fail to do this again for you. Remember how God has met you in the past issues of life. Now grab onto these realities in your life and listen to Jesus’ voice, “I am your peace.”Įven though you may feel the isolation from others during this time, listen to the voice of Jesus and practice Psalm 77:11. There are no walls or dividing lines between us and Jesus. I list five realities to build into our memory banks, from verses 11-17. I am reading through Ephesians and in Chapter 2, Paul tells the believers in Ephesus, who also were in difficult times, to remember.
