Father-Filtered

"Father-Filtered" By Diane Webb

Psalm 91: 6—"Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday."

Do not be afraid. There is nothing that can harm you without your father's permission. If your father gives permission then it must be either for your good or the good of the kingdom. You father in heaven knows what he is doing. You belong to him so he is your protector, your provider, and your master. He knows what is best for you and he is aware of every need and every fear you have. Show him your trust and your faith by not allowing fear thoughts to linger in your mind. Kick out any thought in your head that shows a lack of faith. Do you really believe your heavenly father is in control? Have you given him control of your life? If so, then what is the problem with worry? Do you believe God cannot handle things without your help? Is this arrogance or lack of faith in God's abilities to manage your life? When you turn your life over to God you give him total authority to determine what happens to you each and every day. If he has total authority then each and everything in your life is "father-filtered". This means nothing can happen that does not go through your father first. When you don't understand or it seems very bad this is where you have an opportunity to demonstrate complete trust in God. Others will see it and this is your witness. When God is in control of your life then you have nothing to fear.

Dear Heavenly Father, I trust you completely and believe that you know what is best for me. I submit to your will and I rebuke any worry thoughts that come into my head. I thank you, Lord, for your love, your protection, and your wisdom in my life. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
