Martha wanted her brother to come back alive, but she resisted it when Jesus ordered people to remove the stone covering the tomb. That is what happens when you want something from God but haven’t positioned yourself to get that thing. Don’t do that!
Take hold of your mind – don’t be ruled by just anything that flips through it. Whenever insecurity thoughts about yourself arise, focus on ‘whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable.’ Let your mind dwell on all that is excellent and praiseworthy, for these thoughts align with how God sees you and the unique purpose He has created you to fulfil.
Can you forgive yourself for what you’ve done and let God’s refreshing grace renew you? When you feel condemned, run to Jesus in prayer. Pour out your heart to Him. But after He has healed you of your shortcomings, don’t return to satisfying the fleshly desires.
The art of depending on God for provision is a vital aspect of Christian living. Our insatiable desires and pursuit of worldly things can lead us astray, causing us to forget to rely on God.

Look to God to supply everything you need to fulfil your calling, both materially and spiritually (divine knowledge).
If you have the opportunity to be around a visionary leader, seek to understand his vision before demanding so much of his time. Once you apprehend what God is building through him, you’ll love being his life companion in his work. Stay under His leadership as long as he leads you to Jesus.
When you pray when you’re in trouble, God’s peace will fill your heart and mind. You’ll see that even if your situation isn’t fully solved, you’ll be calm as God comes to your rescue.

Fear is one of the problems that haunt many people’s lives, aside from insecurity. So many people battle with fear in their minds because of the uncertainties of life.
