Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in his own time. Place all anxiety on him, because he takes care of you.When you try to do everything on your own and with your own strength, you allow pride and anxiety to take over. It is important that you humbly recognize your need and dependence on God, that you learn to leave your anxieties in his loving arms and that you wait for him to intervene in your life and circumstances. He is faithful, he will work!
God is always attentive to what happens to you, he takes care of you with patience and love. He loves you so much! Therefore, if you feel worried or discouraged, trust in God, he will help you.
2. Stay alert!
Practice self-control and stay alert. His enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

You have an enemy who wants to destroy you: the devil. That’s why you need to pay attention and not let him gain ground in your life. Fill yourself every day with the Holy Spirit and let him guide you and take control of your life. Even in the moments of most intense struggle when you think you can’t move forward, the Holy Spirit is with you, giving you strength and interceding for you.

Resist it, standing firm in faith, knowing that your brothers throughout the world are enduring the same kind of sufferings.

At this very moment there are many brothers in faith suffering persecution for the sake of Christ. Sooner or later each of us will experience some kind of rejection, ridicule, disdain, or something even stronger and more painful because of our love for Jesus. Are you prepared to resist and remain firm, faithful to God and strong in faith?
Remember that you are not alone in the fight. You are united with thousands of believers around the world who are also participants in it. You are part of God’s army and we have Jesus on our side. Don’t be discouraged! We are all together in the battle and in Christ we have the victory.
