Faith
We can believe God's word. He never lies to
us.

|
Romans
8:31 "What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is
against us?
|
Rest
We can rest our minds and not worry or be
afraid because we know that God is working for us.
|
|
|
|
Psalm
37:7 "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him."
|
Drill
We keep practicing things like shooting
baskets and piano scales. Mom and Dad keep teaching us how to
behave. We start to improve in these areas. The more we practice
having faith and trust in God, the better we get at it.

|
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not
lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make you paths straight."
|
How do we faith-rest? |
|
1. Claim a PROMISE
to calm our souls.
"When
I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee" (Psalm 56:3)
 |
2. We THINK
of a reason from the Bible as to why the promise will work.
 |
God is all-powerful. Omnipotence |
 |
God is all-knowing. Omniscience |
 |
God is love. |
 |
God is our ruler. |
"But
my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:19) |
3. This all ends or results in our minds coming to God's way of
thinking. We RELAX.
 |
|
"What
then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is
against us? Romans 8:31
|
We have many different problems. We can use the same solution for
each one. Think of these words. |
|
We are using the faith-rest drill! It will keep us afloat.
|
|
|
God has given many promises to guide me.
 |
|
| |
| These promises help me stay afloat. If I
follow God's plan, He won't let me sink.
