(Psalms 56: 3) What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي، أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ. فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي، أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ. (Hebrews 13: 6) So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. حَتَّى إِنَّنَا نَقُولُ وَاثِقِينَ: «ٱلرَّبُّ مُعِينٌ لِي فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِي إِنْسَانٌ؟».

What to Do? [Ephesians 4:1-6] 1. Discover your spiritual path and start moving. (Ephesians 4:1). Be intentional about living a life in relationship with Christ. 2. Be humble and disciplined. Cultivate Jesus’ attitude of humility (Ephesians 4:2) by putting others before yourself. 3. Experience community. Serve one another and stay together.(Ephesians 4:3). 4. Use your unique gifts.(Ephesians 4:4-6), 5. Keep growing. God wants you to “grow up in all things into Him” (Ephesians 4:15). Until you die, keep growing, making a difference in this world. You matter. You have value. Start living like it today and never stop.
