Our God reigns! Focus on that and know that no matter what is happening around you, He is in control. So many not only know this truth but have witnessed it yet they still show fear and react when something "bad" happens to them. The last thing we ever want to do is panic and allow fear into our lives. Feelings can get us into trouble. We need to truly do the old fashioned methods of counting to ten before speaking and taking deep breaths before reacting. Please know that many times the Lord will allow things to happen to test you. If you react in the right way, you are displaying your faith which strengthens your relationship with God. When we act in anger, doubt or frustration we are not allowing the Holy Spirit to move through our lives during this trial. The enemy is very aware of your hot buttons and if it knows you have issues with anger he will throw situations at you that will bring this out. It is up to you to show restraint and allow your faith to be the reactor, not your emotions. Just try not to act in the flesh. I know many believers that are worry warts and they sleep terrible and I pray for them because our God is the Prince of Peace and we are to be One with Him. When we know He is in control and that nothing will happen that He does not allow than we can really stay in a place of assurance. I mean if He promises to handle things with you than why do you panic? Why do you feel alone? Why do you question God's presence during a storm? STOP the tug of war between your faith and your flesh. And stay in the arms of God. He wants you to trust Him and He wants you to know He loves you and He will help you through, just let go and allow Him.
Luke 8:25
