Be encouraged to hold on to God’s word and continue believing in His name and words. Don’t allow the pressure of this world to lead you astray. Do not allow the pressure and discouragement from loved ones to bring fear and doubt in you. Rather uphold Jesus Christ in highest honour. Give worship to Him in everything you do. Be still and know that the Lord is God. This too shall pass; the Lord will never fail you. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all” (Psalms 34:19).
Therefore, stay connected with Jesus Christ, be in His presence, delight in the Word, and meditate on the Word day and night. He has the power to deliver you from the challenges and troubles you’re facing. Put your trust in Him alone. The Lord is on your side and He has your back. But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze (Isaiah 43:1-2 NIV).
Dear friends, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled (2 Corinthians 10:4-6 NJKV). Therefore, do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV)
