Your Question:
Can I even trust my own instincts when I'm so lost and scared?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with fear and uncertainty. I've come to realize that trusting our own instincts can be a slippery slope, especially when we're feeling lost and scared. The Bible reminds us that our hearts can be deceiving, and that's why it's essential to examine Scripture and be confident in the love and faithfulness of Jesus. When we trust in people or things, we can become disillusioned when they fail us. But when we trust in God, we can find peace and confidence, even in the midst of uncertainty. As the Bible says, "God says that he will give you grace to handle the disappointments that lie ahead; your task is to live for him in the present." It's not about being reckless or ignoring our fears, but about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. I've learned that confronting our fears head-on is the only way to truly quiet them. It's not always easy, but it's a necessary step towards growth and change. By taking an honest look at ourselves and our fears, we can begin to trust God more fully. As Jesus said, "According to your faith let it be to you." This means that we have a certain amount of control over our spiritual lives, and we can choose to trust in God's goodness and provision.
