THREE ENCOURAGING FAITH STATEMENTS FOR FACING LIFE’S STORMS<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
The ship taking Paul to Rome for his <\/span>appeal<\/span> to Caesar was caught up in a great storm and in danger of sinking. But God sent an angel to encourage Paul that although they would suffer shipwreck, no one on board would drown. All would be saved. Paul encouraged the others on the ship with the word the Lord had given him. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Paul’s three faith statements are encouraging to consider:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1) “Take courage” – Put away fear and be encouraged.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2) “I believe God” – Declare your firm faith in God.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3) “It will be just the way it was told to me” – Declare your faith in God’s Word.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Try repeating these three faith statements the next time you are facing one of life’s storms. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PRAYER: Lord, we believe in You. So we choose to be strong and courageous in You because You are always with us and never leave us. Help us also to encourage those around us with our firm faith in You and in Your Word. In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
