Isaiah 40:28-29

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become tired or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding. He gives strength to the weary and tired, and to him who has not might He increases power. 

God is our eternal, never-ending life source here and in eternity. Whatever we need, God can do for us! Trust in the Lord when we are weary and the road isn’t clear. God will be our strength when we rely on Him.  Lay down the burden and take up faith, and God will increase our power. 

Proverbs 23:18

Surely there is a future (and a reward), and your hope and expectation will not be cut off.

Our lights shine in a world that is losing hope. We still expect because we know God and His plans for us. We represent hope and the promise of the future. We bring light to dark places and will see a reward if we do not give up. 

Hebrews 10:23

Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful (to His word);

Even when we have done all we know, we can’t give up. When the minutes seem like hours, we must continue to stand on our confession and faith—casting down the doubt that tries to enter and remind ourselves that God is faithful to His word.  

Psalm 119:114

You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word.

One word from God changes everything. God is the authority in our lives, and He moves in our lives with the word.   God is our confidence and the rewarder of those who seek Him. He is also our hiding place as we wait confidently in faith, knowing He will meet all our needs. “I wait for Your word.”

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing (through the experience of your faith) that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.  

When we get revelation from God about overcoming our circumstances, our hope flourishes in faith. Our experience of confidence comes from the outpouring of God into our lives through the Holy Spirit. The joy and peace come from believing and knowing that we are one step away from the answer.

1 Corinthians 2:16

For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ (to be guided by His thoughts and purposes).

We have the most extraordinary life coach living inside of us that doesn’t require an appointment and is always available. The only thing we have to do is listen and recognize the voice. Next, we need to obey quickly before our mind rambles on, and we forget the guidance we just received. We have the mind of Christ living inside of us.

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast (that is committed and focused on You- in both inclination and character), because he trusts and takes refuge in You (with hope and confident expectation).

When we focus on God’s word, we will learn about His character and promises. We lack peace without the knowledge of these promises because we don’t know what is ours through Jesus. Our refuge and safety are in the Lord when we have faith in the word. 

Proverbs 4:20-22

My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn; open your ears to my sayings. Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and healing and health to all their flesh. 

What we give our attention to will be the direction our mind and focus will go. God wants us to write His words on our hearts so we can live with sound minds, healed bodies, and prosperous souls. Our healing and prosperity depend on what we focus on and believe.

Psalm 27:3

Though an army encamps against me, my heart will not fear; though war arises against me, even in this I am confident.

When we get to the point when we know God and trust in Him completely, we will have fearless faith. Fearless faith has fought battles and won with God on their side and knows that there may be trials, but God will deliver them out of all. The confidence will come from the Lord, knowing nothing is too hard for God.

Romans 8:15

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear (of God’s judgment), but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons (the Spirit producing sonship) by which we (joyfully) cry, “Abba! Father!”

Our thoughts can lead us into slavery of fear if we allow them. We can keep our minds in faith when we monitor our thoughts and think with purpose and not random. We need to build our faith in Jesus and what we have through His death on the cross and salvation, making God our Father.
