Holding On to Promises, Not Doubts

Have you ever trusted a promise from a friend or family member and they let you down? That hurts. But God’s promises are different: they never expire, never fail, and are always with you.

Isaiah 41:10 reminds us: “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Jesus Himself said: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33). His promises don’t erase problems, but they assure us we’ll never face them alone.

Metanoia also means learning to think about the future the way God does: not with anxiety, but with trust. Paul describes this as being “transformed from glory to glory” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Each promise we cling to is a step toward becoming more like Christ.

God’s promises are like spiritual Wi-Fi: invisible, but powerful. And unlike home internet, the signal never drops.

Reflection Questions:

1. Which promise of God do you need to repeat out loud today to overcome fear?
2. Do you tend to dwell more on your problems or on God’s promises?

Challenge:

Write down three biblical promises and place them where you’ll see them often (mirror, fridge, phone). Repeat them out loud every morning this week.
