I'm the type of person who loves knowing what comes next. I can't stand surprises. I genuinely cringe at unexpected change and I have a hard time being spontaneous. (Don't I just sound super fun!) But that's just how I am. I'm not saying that I'm not working on it. I do the occasional spontaneous act and surprise change in schedule. But I too, struggle very deeply when it comes to the things that happen in my life. I too become fearful. Anxious. Nervous. Doubtful.

So here I am, writing this entry to share with you guys how I cope with most of life's tough questions and situations. Here's how I combat FEAR with Faith.



I've memorized and recited the Lord's Prayer for as long as I can remember. It was taught to me early on in school and I knew it ever since. But just this Prayer and Fasting did I genuinely, whole-heartedly, realize just how powerful and comforting this prayer is. After all, Jesus did teach it.

Being someone who works in the industry that I do, months can be very lucrative and other months can be very dry. Because I help out with household expenses and pay for my own things, money has always been something that I try my best to control and quite frankly, prioritize. Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong about money. The Bible never said money was bad. God blesses us because He knows that we need it to survive in this world (I mean, you can't buy groceries with just your pleasing personality right?) but we have to remember that the love of money is what makes things more difficult. When money comes before dependance on God, then we have a problem.




I used to always pray to God for tons of gigs, opportunities and money so I could help out around the house. I used to ask for so much and again, there's nothing wrong with coming to God for requests, but what I realized was it wasn't that God wasn't listening to my prayers, it was that I wasn't praying the right way. Ever since I took to heart the Lord's Prayer, even my perspective on provision changed. Instead of praying to God every single day for this and that, I now pray for Him to provide whatever He thinks my family and I need for that month. It's not easy, especially when you lift something up to God, but let me tell you, HE DELIVERS. Every. Single. Time.

We haven't had a month where money was tight or we didn't have food or electricity. We travel, watch movies, eat out and shop! God always makes sure that every single month we have more than enough to sustain and entertain us as a family. And you know what? I am far less anxious about provision now. Because like the Bible says, how much more do you mean to God compared to the birds in the sky and the flowers in the fields right? He provides. And He's always on time. Don't worry.
