During breakfast with a group of girlfriends one happened to share her experience during the Hawaii missile attack notice sent by accident and as she told the story one thing she said spoke to me. She explained that during that time where some people were panicking across the Island she said to herself “Okay Lord, If I believe what I said I believe” as she realized the attack could actually be true and its time to take cover as instructed, she joked that she heard a lady ask a group “are you ready to meet you maker?” We all laughed and continued chatting not taking lightly the seriousness of what people experienced but I kept thinking to myself wow that was deep, that really spoke to me Okay Lord, “If I believe what I say I believe”
Lord, If I believe what I say I believe then as I lay my head down I will be at peace knowing that you will make my path straight “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” It Says in
Proverbs 3:5-6
Lord, If I believe what I say I believe then I dont need to worry about tomorrow because your word says “So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:31-33
Lord, If I believe what I say I believe then I should not be afraid of my enemies because in Isaiah 54:17 you say “no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.”
Lord, If I believe what I say I believe then when I feel like I am not good enough you say In Eph 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for is to do”
Lord, If I believe what I say I believe when I start to feel anxiety as I wake up in the morning with so much to get done and realizing I dont have the resources, you say “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7
Lord, If I believe what I say I believe then when I feel
Unqualified for your blessings, your forgiveness and your love because of all My sins as I fail you every day you remind me in Eph 2:8 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”
Reflection:
Lord now I say, when the struggles and storms of life sway me left and right I choose to believe in your promises for my life!
