The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 63
God Validates You!
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
– Psalms 37:5-6
Humans have a need to be validated by others as it gives them a sense of importance and belonging. Therefore, all of man’s actions exhibit his quest for validation. I have found this is especially so for persons who have experienced complex trauma that negatively affect their identity, self-esteem and self-worth. However, even though one makes every effort to impress others hoping to be validated, they are often disappointed. This pursuit of validation often encourages anxiety and depression.
True validation only comes from God. Believers must be absolutely yielded to God and unreservedly cast your life (all your cares, desires of your heart, aspirations, dreams, necessities, business) on God in faith by your effectual, fervent prayer, with earnest expectations of favourable responses from God and He will accomplish it for you.
Though what you have gone through have distorted your self-concept and make it difficult for you to see and accept who you really are in Christ Jesus, God validates you as He reveals your reputation to the world from which it is perceived to be eclipsed, and makes it as visible to all as the sunlight at noon-day. You are exalted to be seen beloved. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1).
God bless you!
MY PRAYER FOR TODAY
Papa I worship and rejoice in You always. Thank you for the privileged opportunity to fellowship with you in prayer. I declare that I am absolutely yielded to You and Your response is showing me off as Your righteousness to the world in which I seemed invisible. Therefore, in obedience to You I will arise and shine in every dark corner of the world. I pray this by faith in Jesus’ precious name with thanksgiving. Amen!
