Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to another episode of Inspiration Moments, where we
dive into stories of resilience, self discovery, and of purpose.
I'm your host, Lynn Austen, and today I want to
talk about something close to my heart everyday, Faith and Strength.
This book is more than just words on a page.
It's a guide for living with unwavering faith in the
(00:20):
face of life's greatest challenges. Faith isn't just something we
practice on Sundays. It's not a concept we keep tucked
away until we need it in times of crisis. Faith
is a daily commitment. It's the actions we take, the
thoughts we nurture, and the hope we hold onto even
when the world around us feels unsteady. Resilient Faith is
(00:40):
about harnessing the power of that daily faith, about living
each day with intention grounded in the belief that God's
strength is our strength. The idea behind Resilient Faith came
from a simple realization life is unpredictable. We all face
moments of profound uncertainty, moments that test the very fabric
of our beliefs. In those times, what sustains us, what
(01:04):
keeps us moving forward when it feels easier to give
up for me and for so many others. The answer
lies in Resilient Faith, a faith that doesn't waver in
the storm, but instead grows stronger. One of the key
themes in the book is finding renewal through rest and peace.
In a world that often glorifies busyness, we forget the
importance of rest, true sole, deep breast that comes from
(01:27):
trusting in God's promise. As Jesus said in Matthew eleven,
verse twenty eight, come to me, all you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. This
is an invitation to let go of the burdens we
carry and find rejuvenation in His presence. Another powerful message
in Resilient Faith is about seeking refuge and strength in
(01:47):
times of trouble. When life's challenges seem insurmountable, we're reminded
that God is our refuge, our stronghold in times of distress.
Psalm nine, verse nine tells us the Lord is a
refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
This isn't just a comforting thought, it's a call to action.
It's about actively seeking God's presence, surrounding ourselves with a
(02:11):
supportive community and leaning into the strength that only faith
can provide. But what about those moments of fear, when
courage feels like a distant dream. Resilient Faith explores the
idea of strength and courage in the face of fear.
Isaiah forty one, verse ten offers this assurance, So do
not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed,
(02:32):
For I am your God. I will strengthen you and
help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Facing fear isn't about pretending it doesn't exist. It's about
acknowledging it and choosing to trust in God's promise that
we are never alone. The book also dives into the
importance of cultivating joy and patience through prayer. Romans twelve,
(02:54):
Verse twelve urges us to be joyful in hope, patient
and affliction, faithful in prayer. These words serve as a
reminder that even in the midst of challenges, we can
find joy and hope if we remain steadfast in our
prayer life. Prayer isn't just a ritual, it's a life line,
a direct connection to the source of all strength and hope.
(03:15):
And then there's the transformative power of gratitude. James One
verse seventeen tells us every good and perfect gift is
from above. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack
to what we've been given. It opens our eyes to
the blessings that surround us even in difficult times. By
embracing gratitude, we cultivate a mindset of thankfulness that enriches
(03:37):
our lives and strengthens our faith. Each chapter of Resilient
Faith is crafted to equip you with practical actions. Reflection
questions invite you to think deeply about your own experiences,
while action plans and weekly challenges encourage you to live
out your faith in tangible ways. Whether it's dedicating time
each day for quiet reflection, reaching out to someone for support,
(04:00):
or confronting a long held fear, these actions are steps
toward building a faith that can weather any storm. As
you navigate through this book, you'll find that Resilient Faith
is a journey. It's about growing in trust, finding peace
in God's promises, and learning to live with a heart
full of hope no matter what life throws your way.
(04:21):
As we wrap up this episode, I want to leave
you with this thought. Faith is not passive. It's active, alive,
and resilient. It's in the daily choices we make, the
prayers we offer, and the hope we cling to. Resilient
Faith actions for renewed strength and hope is an invitation
to deepen your faith, to let it guide you, and
to let it renew you every day. Thank you for
(04:44):
joining me today on inspiration Moments. If you haven't yet,
I encourage you to pick up a copy of Resilient
Faith and begin your journey towards a stronger, more resilient faith. Remember,
faith is the foundation that holds us steady even in
the fiercest storms. Let's keep building that foundation together until
(05:04):
next time. Keep living with resilient faith, keep taking those
daily steps of trust, and never forget that with God,
all things are possible.
