5 Lessons
I. Fear thrives on uncertainty, faith stands on truth.
Fear creeps in when we feel powerless. It fills the gaps where faith should be. But as children of God, we don’t stand in our own strength, we stand in His. Fear whispers “You can’t,” faith declares “God already has.”
II. Prayer isn’t passive, it’s movement.
Faith-filled prayer isn’t begging God to act, it’s aligning yourself with what He’s already doing. When you pray, you’re not just asking, you’re stepping forward.
III. Trials expose what you’re really leaning on.
You don’t know how strong your faith is until it’s tested. Trials strip away the surface and show you whether you’re standing on faith or sinking in fear. The storm isn’t the problem, the problem is what you’re anchored to when it comes.
IV. Faith fuels bold action.
Bold faith isn’t arrogance, it’s trust. More like stepping into the unknown with confidence that God is already there. When you trust in His strength, fear loses its grip. What once intimidated you no longer has the same power over you.
V. God’s strength is your reality, not just a theory.
Often times we think of faith as wishful thinking, merely “hoping for the best.” But let’s be clear, faith implies living in the truth that God’s power is already at work in you.
