What if God doesn’t answer our prayers?
God ALWAYS answers our prayers, but sometimes He answers them differently than we expect. There will be times we pray and our brothers and sisters in prison will be miraculously released like Paul and Silas were in the New Testament. Other times they may not. No matter how God chooses to answer our prayers, we can trust He is good, that His promises are true and that He works EVERYTHING out for our good.
Is God in charge of the government?
It can be tempting to put our trust in the leaders of our country for their ability to keep us safe and make good rules for us to live by. But these leaders – such as mayors, state governors, senators and representatives, even the President – only hold positions of authority because God has allowed them to. They are still imperfect people who need to live surrendered before God. For believers in Jesus, our true home is in heaven; and while we live here on Earth as citizens of different countries, our true allegiance belongs to God. (Philippians 3:20).
What if I’m afraid to share my faith?
Everyone feels afraid sometimes, especially when we’re asked to do something important like talk about Jesus with someone else. Feeling afraid is so common, so human. God tells us 365 times in His Word to not be afraid! Jesus talked about this specific fear in Luke 12:11-12 and tells us to not worry about what we should say to others about Him because the Holy Spirit will give us the words we need when we need them.
