We live with a myriad of potential dangers every day. If we sit for a moment and let our imaginations run wild, we could very easily become paralyzed by the images that run through our minds, vowing never to leave the house again. But even then, in our very homes, we are vulnerable to life’s calamities.
Equally, there has always been a fight against evil in the world — our global world as well as our personal worlds. None of us are beyond life’s challenges and trials. Lately the media has been flooded with so many disturbing stories. There is certainly cultural upheaval everywhere. But even in times of seeming social calm, there have been moments in my personal journey when I have had to summons prayer warriors to intercede on my behalf. Adversity in life, unfortunately, is unavoidable.
When I was a young girl, my grandmother who was one of my strongest spiritual influences, instilled often that life is to be lived by faith not fear. She encouraged that divine protection shields us from dangers seen and unseen. I offer these thoughts, not to minimize anyone’s test, or tragedy. My aim is to comfort those of you who may be grappling with a growing sense of fear that seeks to stagnate you from enjoying your loved ones and life in general. Let’s trust in the amazing grace that has kept us safe so far and, in times past, has brought us through every ominous challenge. Cling to the blessed assurance that our lives, and the lives of our loved ones, are never beyond God’s reach.
