Scripture
Psalm 10:1 “O Lord why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I need you the most?”
Observation
Sometimes God seems far away. My emotions can believe a lie. They deny the truth that God loves me and is always with me. I feel like God has abandoned me and I am all alone. Fear can set in and it can determine my actions. These are lies from the devil.
Application
The only way to overcome a lie is to replace it with the truth. I must read and meditate on the Bible. It is the word of God. It is truth. It is my moral compass. By choosing to believe God’s word, I can overcome the lies of the enemy. The truth is God will never leave me nor forsake me. He loves me. He is always there. God’s silence does not indicate his absence.
Prayer
Father, build my faith. Faith is a fruit of your spirit. Produce faith in me that I may believe and stand upon your word.
