Anxious about what is to come? Not sure how to live without fear of losing Gods love? I must say, you will never lose the love of God, like ever. God knows your beginning from your end. God sees your journey, every step of it, and he loves you more and more each day.You can live your best life in Christ, and here are five ways you can.
1. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! And Then Go By Faith
We are all believing God for something. I don't know if you've heard that verse that goes, "Faith without Action is dead" God is not a magician. What you are asking for will not magically fall on your lap. When you ask God for something, you believe that he will bless the work of your hands or put you in the right place to meet the right people, but you have to do something or go somewhere for God to guide your footsteps.
When we pray, that's us leaving our next moves in his hands, and now we move forward onto our next stage of that new job, business, family, or home, knowing that we have done our parts & we are waiting for God to finish the work he has started in us.
2. Believe in yourself and the Mighty God You Serve
When we were created, we were made in his image & likeness. Remember, we are in Christ, who is in us. Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness, which darkness will not overcome. That same light is in us, and we are in that light. We carry power and are embedded in that power. We have to live our lives in the confidence of Christ. As Christians, we are meant to be humble, and people misconstrued that with timidity. Be humble, but never be afraid, and always be courageous in who God made you to be.
3. Find a Community
Ahh, Community! To have brothers and sisters in Christ is the best thing we can do! Some days we need support. We also need human presence. The Holy Spirit is always there to listen, and remember God also speaks through his children. Having people who love Christ the way you do and who love and cherish you the way you are is a gift.
Some days when our minds are filled with the clutter of worry and fear, the voice of a friend in Christ may be the thing that breaks you out of the noise.
Having friends that encourage your walk in Christ, that you can experience and enjoy life together, people who will show you the love of Christ and how it should be, be there with you, advise you, laugh, and cry with you is the best feeling because you don't feel physically alone, you have people praying and cheering you on, on days you just do not have the strength, they are they interceding on your behalf.
4. Living in Your Purpose
One of the best ways you can live your best life in Christ is to live in the purpose he gave you. When God gives you an assignment, and you disobey, it provides a gateway for the enemies to get in.
Every season has its stages. You can be in season five, stage 2 of your journey, and God is trying to move you to that next stage. Because you have gotten too comfortable with that stage, you are nervous about what's to come, so you stay in that "comfort" zone, and all of a sudden, depression comes in, worry finds its way, so does fear and anxiety and they have found a home in you, all because you didn't listen.
Pray for the spirit of discernment, so you can know when the Holy Spirit is speaking to you and the difference between caution and fear.
5. Staying in Touch With Christ Jesus
The last and most important is keeping your connection strong in Christ.
When you keep your connection with Christ, no matter what, you will find God in everything.
How may you keep your connection with Christ? By constantly being in a place of gratitude. A place of gratitude will always require you to count your blessings and reminisce on all the Lord has done in your life, which will lead to worship, and a prayer of thanksgiving, which will renew your faith because it is a reminder that you're not alone, and that days that you didn't think you would make it out off, God brought you out, and took you to brighter days. Keeping an ongoing connection with Christ allows you to live your life to the fullest. You get to enjoy each day as they come rather than worrying about things that are not yours to carry. It makes it the easiest to accept God's love in your life, be present for every opportunity and live your best life in Christ.
