Steadfast In The Lord Essay

1066 Words5 Pages

How Can I Steadfast in the Lord?
Steadfast in the Lord means; ‘do not call God a liar when some unpleasant issues hit you hard’. Stand firm in your Christian faith! Steadfast is a word of encouragement to you at the point of your discouragement.
Few years ago, I lost my first child, a handsome baby boy. I love him so much, but my prayers could not stop death from taken him to heaven. God answered my prayers to raise two people from death on different occasions.
But, the prayers for my late son to come back to life went unanswered... I mourned him for a year, and my faith went through a tough trial. I asked God a lot of questions, but I only received few answers.

And the secret of His firmness in the Lord is persistent prayers. Luke described Jesus’ feeling and action in chapter 22 verses 44: “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
4. Lead the Praise and Worship

Yes! It might be difficult to weep in pains and sing praises at the same time. Praises to the Lord might not be practicable as the first step, and that is the reason I made it the fourth step. Nevertheless, it is a powerful step that will make you steadfast in the Lord.
Give God the praise for other unwanted circumstances that never happened to you… And worship God as the One and Only Great God. The Bible says: “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1Thessalonians 5:18)
5. Go Churching!
To steadfast in the Lord also involves speaking to the right people. Visit a true servant of God or group of genuine Christians who strictly believe in the Bible. Share your pains, provocation, or troubled heart with God’s children and their good scriptural counsel will ease your heavy burdened

    As Screwtape advises his nephew, "When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them try to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by its success in producing the desired feeling, and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment" (Lewis, 16). The emotional rush that occurs when drawing near to the Holy Spirit is a feeling almost every Christian has experienced. New believers tend to use this feeling as their sole motivation for prayer, study, and worship.

    My life was great and I did not feel anything wrong in my life. Until my freshman year in high school, around April my grandfather had been admitted to the hospital and that had been the third time in the row in the span of a few months. I did not know how to feel, and I did not know if I should have felt sorrow or been strong because he was the strongest person I knew and I knew he would get through it. My family had prayers here and there, so I took part in them because I was asked not because I felt as though I needed to.

(Etzioni, 1999) In this paper, I will describe why I chose Homer’s Heroes, the experiences I had, and how it related to this course.
