Changing Our Focus~

John 14:1 "Do not let your heart be troubled, afraid. Believe confidently in God and trust in Him, have faith, hold onto it, rely on it, keep going and believe also in Me" (The Amplified Bible).

Greetings,

Jesus spoke the above-word to His stressed-out disciples because in 24 hours He would be crucified.  They did not fully understand what was happening, and needed comforting.

Many of us need comforting as well. I, for one, am struggling during this election season to keep the faith in and keep the fear out.  

Changing our focus is the answer!

We are to hold onto and rely on faith and trust in God and Christ.  No matter what, we are to "keep going," which is another way of saying that we must continue heading in His direction. 

Amen to that! When we head His way it's because we are focused on Him, praying to Him, reading His Word, even singing praises to Him.  The best part of all is that by doing all this, we leave our troubled heart in the dust.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We reach out to You today to receive comfort for our troubled heart.  So many things in this world scream for our attention, but we focus on You today.  We hold onto to You today and thank You that You give us peace, protection, hope, and joy.  We believe in You and will continue to head in Your direction every single day.  In Jesus' name, AMEN.
