Every day is an opportunity to be consumed by anxiety and doubt, especially when the future seemed uncertain. But it was equally a chance to have faith and trust God with the outcome. Both doubt and faith require believing in something you can’t see. My fears melted into tears when I heard the following hymn at church.
There’s power in the mighty name of Jesus
Every war He wages He will win
I’m not backing down from any giant
‘Cause I know how this story ends
Yes, I know how this story ends
I’m gonna see a victory
I’m gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You, Lord Elevation Worship
Encouragement flowed in for months – from friends, family, prayer warriors, calls, cards, flowers, lunches, and check-in texts. I heard uplifting messages from Scriptures, songs, poems, and prayers. If you ever question how to help someone in your life face a mighty interruption in their life, remember that all of these acts of kindness make a difference. You might doubt that something so simple as a note or a call will lend true support, but I assure you they do. You’re providing nourishment for the soul.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8 NIV
“Don’t believe everything you think.” Ann Grady
