Your Question:

What's the right decision when I'm torn between my faith and my fear of the future?

Answer:

As a pastor and a man of faith, I've seen many people struggle with fear and uncertainty about the future. When we're torn between our faith and our fear, it's essential to take a step back and examine our hearts. Often, our fear is rooted in unbelief - we're not trusting in God's promises or His ability to guide us. I encourage people to confess their fears as unbelief and then seek to understand Scripture, focusing on the love and faithfulness of Jesus.

It's also crucial to recognize that fear can be a barrier to faith. When we're afraid, we tend to focus on the past or future, rather than living in the present moment. But God's Word reminds us to live from faith to faith, from victory to victory. This means focusing on what God is doing in our lives today, rather than getting bogged down in worries about tomorrow or yesterday. By living in the present and trusting in God's goodness, we can overcome our fears and walk in faith.

As I reflect on my own life, I've learned that faith is not just about receiving what we want from God, but about trusting Him in all circumstances. When we face difficulties, we can choose to trust in God's love and faithfulness, even when we don't understand what's happening. This is what it means to live by faith - to trust in God's goodness, even when it doesn't make sense to us. By doing so, we can experience the peace and joy that comes from knowing that God is with us, no matter what the future holds.
