Faith is a Choice
Amanda Stout 
Did you know that Faith is a choice, not a feeling?
Faith is CHOOSING to trust God, hold fast to His promises, and look at our circumstances with His eyes.
There are many days when I haven't *felt* like walking by faith. In the moment it feels much easier to accept what I see around me and let my emotions lead.
But then I remember that would be walking by sight, and I know from past personal experience that the road of walking by sight leads to anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and pain. And in the long run, that road is much harder than choosing faith and surrendering to the Lord.
So I choose the momentary hard of walking by faith, focusing on God and His word, not the outer circumstances so that I can experience His peace and joy that surpasses understanding.
It's simple, but it's not always easy, especially when you first start making the choice to live by faith.
You may lose friends, and life may seem a whole lot harder for a season.
But choosing Faith is like a workout - the more consistently you do it the easier it is. And eventually you reach a point where choosing faith is so ingrained that it's barely a conscious choice - you actually can't imagine living life any other way.
And friend, that is true freedom.
If you're thinking that this all sounds great, but it seems too good to be true, but deep down you WANT it to be true and you want it for yourself book a free 1:1 call with me here. I would love to help you get to this place of peace and freedom in your own life.
