Faith Through Uncertainty


The villainous air that is filtering through this world today is truly a sad thing to witness; the antagonistic news media works to fill our homes with gloom and despair. No one person can agree on how to help this sinking nation; panic buying has depleted our store shelves and fear has stolen most common sense.

Fear is not the solution to a problem; the force that drives us to make decisions blindly only worsens the original issue. I don't have all the answers. I don't know what tomorrow holds; however, the nasty behavior of some honestly saddens my soul. It is important to be cautious in a time such as this, and to be uneasy is understandable; invisible warfare is real and it is a danger to society.

Exercising your faith through uncertainty can be difficult; in the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, I was freaking out because my mother has lupus and is immuno-compromised. The idea of life changing so rapidly, with no idea of when or if it would ever be the same made us both uneasy.
Having faith through uncertainty doesn't always change a situation, but it will serve as more of a help to your soul than your fear ever will.

If you are feeling a great deal of anxiety, take some time out of your day to pray through the overwhelming fog. I have seen so many on my friends list becoming depressed and anxiety ridden. Some are out of work because they have been labeled "non essential" and I can't imagine how your world must feel being flipped upside down. Do what is in your power to do & leave the rest to the Lord. Lean on Him & He will provide. Don't let your uneasiness go so far as for it to start filling your heart with hate. Don't let what's going on in the world become a part of your character. Stay true to yourself and be an encouragement to someone. An argumentative nature gets you nowhere in life. Try your best & that's all you can do; this crisis doesn't seem to have an end yet & I hope for everyone that this warfare that is among us finds its end soon.

In the meantime:

Pray for the world and be an encouragement; a light in a world full of darkness. Show the world and its veil of fear & misery your faith through uncertainty. 

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1 King James Version)

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
