Your Question:
How can I stay positive when my future's uncertain?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the uncertainty you're feeling about your future. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with doubts and fears about what's to come. But I want to encourage you to take a step back and reflect on the past victories God has given you. Think about the times when He has been faithful and provided for you. Write them down, if it helps. Remember, God has a history of working in your life, and that's a powerful reminder of His faithfulness. It's also essential to look to the future, not with a sense of control or expectation, but with a sense of trust. Trust that God is working everything out for your good, even when you can't see it. As the Bible says, "Test all things, hold fast what is good" (1 Th 5:21). Don't rely on your own strength or understanding, but instead, trust in God's sovereignty and goodness. I've found that when I focus on God's character and promises, my anxiety about the future decreases, and my confidence in Him increases. As I reflect on my own life, I'm reminded of the many times God has helped me navigate uncertain situations. I've seen Him work in my marriage, in my family, and in my ministry. And I've learned that when I trust in Him, I can face the future with hope and confidence. So, I want to encourage you to do the same. Take a moment to reflect on God's past faithfulness, look to the future with trust, and remember that He is always working in your life.
