Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (Psalm 55:22).

We are not yet perfect as long as we are here residing with our mortal bodies. That's why God gave us the Holy Spirit as our helper to overcome those difficult people, situations, and temptations that will help us refine our faith in Him. Our lives every day, like just frontliners the most advanced, responsible, or visible position in a field or activity and likewise, those genuine disciples of Jesus, are not exempted from undergoing this type of test; we will cooperate and understand God's process of why He allows this to happen. This day-to-day reality is not virtual nor easy but challenging. This Christian life is all about an overcomer.

There are some specific examples in the Old Testament of how God orchestrated everything to accomplish His purpose to what He ordained to do for His children. Like Moses, forty years of struggle in leading and working with different groups of people (mostly rebellious, selfish, arrogant, etc.). Lastly, Daniel never compromises despite the pressure from the ungodly government and darkest circumstances in Babylonian captivity.

Therefore, fear and worry are not difficult to entertain in your thinking if you give them a chance to welcome them at any given time. It will dominate you until you distrust God's presence in your life. Confess your sins to God if fear and worries of life mastering you every day. Don't allow the circumstances and trials to manage your mind but the Word of God (Romans 12:2).

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
