Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, God has given us every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly world. That is, in Christ, he chose us before the world was made so that we would be his holy people—people without blame before him. Because of his love, God had already decided to make us his own children through Jesus Christ. That was what he wanted and what pleased him, and it brings praise to God because of his wonderful grace. God gave that grace to us freely, in Christ, the One he loves. In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God’s grace. Ephesians 1:3-7

Our level of security plays a big part in how we manage our faith in difficult times. If we are secure in God and his promises, we will stand firm in the midst of the storm. When we know who hold our lives in balance, we need not run scared from a battle. When we are insecure about who we are in God, our relationship with Him won’t be deep enough to learn to trust Him above anything else. The Bible tells us that we are loved, chosen, redeemed and blessed. He has adopted us by His choice and takes His parenthood seriously—but do we? When a child is secure in knowing his daddy will protect him, feed him, forgive and prefer him, there is strength to take on the world. The bond that trusting brings to a relationship is a valuable thing, and God gives us every opportunity to share in that trust. Our daddy is faithful and gracious in good times and crisis.

That’s enough to rest in for a lifetime. There is No need for you to be scared of anything, for Jesus is with you. Since Jesus is with you, there is no reason to be afraid of anything, for He is in control. If you will pray more, Jesus will do more. God will do more. Prayer does not always change what you want the way you want it, but prayer does work.

Want to tell God you’re grateful for Jesus and tell God that you are grateful that He is your Father, if so, join us in this simple prayer;
Lord, I am grateful for the chance to be your child. I am grateful for you giving me the opportunity to invite and accept Jesus Christ to become my personal Lord and Savior, Thank you for choosing me.
