I want out but I can't find the exit!!

Have you ever been in a place where you wanted to get out but could not find an exit? I remember going to a haunted house and when we entered the house everything was pitch black. We could not see anything and all we could do was trust the person in front of us to lead us to the exit. The further we got in the more it seemed that we were lost in some kind of maze. I heard people screaming and panicking for being enclosed in darkness. When a light would appear it did not bring hope only terror for a monster would jump out and scream at us. Thoughts raced through my head why did I put myself in this situation? I can't wait to get out of this but as people were paralyzed in their fear, it prevented us from getting out. What torture we put ourselves through to have fun? I enjoyed haunted house before and after but I never truly like being scared.

Haunted houses might not scare you but there is something that you are afraid of? You might not admit it but everyone has a fear. When the fear comes what is your reaction? Are you paralyzed by your fears? God has given us something that is a cure to our fear it is faith.

Our faith in Jesus Christ can overcome any fear or doubt that tries to consume us. Some times we place ourselves in the pit of fear when we are afflicted by circumstances. That pit can be an agonizing place to be but if we release our faith our pit will turn into a well of living life giving water. God's Spirit delivers and redeems us when the pit of fear and offers no way of escape.

Don't feel like you have to get yourself out of your situation. You are not alone but you have to release your faith in God to be deliver from your fears. God has peace, joy, love and happiness for those that put their trust in Him. Your situation might not change but in midst of your storm you find peace that empowers you to keeping moving forward. You will eventually get to the exit of your haunted house and when you come out of it You will be empowered by the knowledge that when you were lost God's Spirit led you to the Light. God is infront of us and He will lead us out when we lean and depend on Him. God bless you.

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." I Corinthains 10:13
