When You Need Faith for Your Future

No matter your stage in life, it’s important to have faith for your future. When we don’t believe God has a plan for us we will try to take control of our own lives – which usually leads to anxiety and a host of other sins. Use these verses to build your faith in God’s plans for your future.

1 Corinthians 10:13 MSG[13] No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.

[39] No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 34:4-7 NLT[4] I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. [5] Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

Matthew 6:33-34 AMP[33] But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

[25] Stay calm; there is no need to be afraid of a sudden disaster or to worry when calamity strikes the wicked, [26] For the Eternal is always there to protect you. He will safeguard your each and every step.

Zechariah 8:6-8 MSG[6] A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: “Do the problems of returning and rebuilding by just a few survivors seem too much? But is anything too much for me?

Matthew 17:20-21 Voice[20] Jesus: Because you have so little faith. I tell you this: if you had even a faint spark of faith, even faith as tiny as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and because of your faith, the mountain would move. If you had just a sliver of faith, you would find nothing impossible. [21] [But this kind is not realized except through much prayer and fasting.]
