As a Christ follower you have a new identity. Stop imitating the ideals & opinions of the culture around you, remember what God says about you and rely on who He is.
It's been said that, "God's plan for your life far exceeds the circumstances of your day." Nothing can stop His plan & purpose in the life of a surrendered Christ follower.
If anyone or anything other than God is our safe place, then we need to make a change. If we're looking to take refuge somewhere other than Him, we are looking in the wrong place.
Whatever the Holy Spirit has led you to do be sure and stay with it. The faithful and obedient will reap a harvest in God's timing if we refuse to quit.
“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, and to devote the will to the purpose of God” William Temple
Even in a turbulent, fearful & sinful world we can have peace (John 14:27). True peace isn't based on what's happening around us but what has happened in us. In Christ we have peace. He has overcome and has made us overcomers. (1 John 4:4, 1 John 5:4-5)
Humility, gentleness and patience must exist in order for us to be united with our brothers & sisters in Christ. The Kingdom dynamic of unity is impossible when selfishness is allowed to remain.
God wants you to remember that He is faithful & always present with you. Nothing could ever change that. He was, is and always will be your Father!
As your perfect Father, He knows what is best for you. He will willingly and gladly give you what you need.
We don’t fabricate faith or try and force it to exist. Hebrews 12:2 tells us that Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith. It originates in Him and is His gift to us.
Faith is trusting our unknown future to the one true God who knows everything. We may not know exactly when and how His promises will be fulfilled but we believe that they will. Faith is beyond our reason and is present before we get the results we desire.
