Embrace the Pain and Swallow Your Fears

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

In life you will face pain and experience trouble. We have to understand that we live in a world that is filled with evil. There is trouble all around us. But we have to be reminded that we have a Savior that has walked in our shoes and faced every temptation that we have faced yet did not sin. Therefore we have to learn how to navigate through the pain and swallow the fears that come along with it. The fear will be there but do not allow it to keep us from moving forward. We have to Stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might knowing that God has not given us the spirit of fear but love, power and a sound mind. Therefore we speak to fear and disappointment. We speak to the pain and tell it to get thee behind us. It will not rule us, we acknowledge that it exist and face the reality of it. Yet we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling in Jesus Christ. We have to understand that God promised to never leave us nor forsake us. He will not put more on us than we can bear. Therefore we continue to fulfill the calling of God on our lives, restrain from temptation and move forward with fear but trusting through everything.

Hebrews 4:15 ESV

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
