I’ve got good news -
Everything is going to be okay. For real.
I know that's a bold statement, especially if you're in the middle of a storm. Maybe your world has been turned upside down. Perhaps you've lost your job, a loved one, or your business is on the brink. I get it. I’ve been there myself. In fact, I recently lost my mom, and in moments like that, it's easy to get beaten up and stuck in the pain.
The enemy loves it when you get stuck. He loves it when you get distracted and veer off God’s amazing path for your life. But here’s the thing: you can be steadfast, immovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, no matter what curveballs come your way. You just have to learn how to play the game.
The game is simple, but the rules are counterintuitive. You need to understand where your thoughts come from, who is behind the chaos, and how to activate the power you’ve already been given. When you grasp this, you can live in a place where nothing phases you and everything is going to be alright.
The Devil’s Playground: Your Mind
Deep down, you know that everything is going to be okay. You know it because the Bible promises it. Yet, so often, we don’t live in that peace. Why?
Because the battle isn't with your circumstances; it's with your thinking.
Depression, anxiety, fear, worry, and overwhelm are all products of a mind that is out of alignment with God's Word. When we get into logic—the natural, human way of thinking—we enter the devil's playground.
We start thinking based on experiences, other people's stories, or our own logical conclusions. "My uncle had this sickness, and it didn't end well, so it's probably going to happen to me." Or, "I've had a couple of slow months in my business; how am I going to pay the bills?"
This is the enemy's trap. He wants you to think with your natural brain, not with your spiritual authority. He wants to hijack your logic and convince you that a bad outcome is inevitable.
But here’s the most damaging part of this whole thought process: we often give the wrong source credit for what's happening.
I asked God once why I’ve been so successful when others seem to struggle. His answer was simple, and it shocked me. He said, “You give me credit for all the good things, and you give the devil credit for everything else.”
Most people don’t do this. When something bad happens—an income stream dries up, a business deal falls through—the first thing we often say is, "God, why did you take this away from me? What did I do wrong?" We think it's a punishment for not being a perfect steward or for some past mistake.
But that messes with our theology. It paints a picture of a God who gives good things and then takes them away when we don't perform.
No. God is not a cosmic Giver and Taker. He is a good Father.
John 10:10 reveals the secret: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
If something has been stolen from you, killed, or destroyed, it's not from God. It’s the work of the enemy. Give him the credit for that. If it's a good and perfect gift, it's from above. It’s that simple.
When you correctly identify the source of the attack, you’re not fighting against God; you’re fighting with Him. You have the power and authority to say, "Satan, take your hands off my money, off my family, off my marriage. You've messed up. You tried to steal something from me? I'm going to take it back and then some."
Four Scriptures to Activate God's Promises
Everything is going to be okay. The Bible doesn't just say it; it proves it. It's filled with promises you can stand on—powerful tools you can use to combat the enemy's lies and live in unshakable peace.
Here are four scriptures that have fundamentally changed how I approach trials and challenges.
1. The Ultimate Insurance Policy: Romans 8:28
The Amplified Classic Version puts it this way:
"And we are assured and know that [God being a partner in our labor] all things work together and are fitting into a plan for good to and for those who love God and are called according to His design and purpose."
This doesn't mean God causes bad things to happen. It means that when they do, He is your partner in the labor, and He will turn them to good. The difference is how you handle it.
I've had it happen to me multiple times. I've lost entire income streams, had payment processors shut me down, and had social media platforms ban my ads without warning. It was devastating news, but every single time, it forced me to go back to the drawing board and ask God, "What do I do now?"
Out of those moments of crisis, a new method, a new business, or a new way of doing things was born. And every time, the new thing ended up being better—even more profitable—than the old thing.
This happened when I was working at an insurance company many years ago. The company that provided 95% of our business suddenly shut us down. It was a crisis. But our team got together, and out of that chaotic day, we created a new sales process that was so much more effective, it became the standard for the entire company. They are still using that method today.
Everything is going to be okay, because God works all things together for your good.
2. The Formula for Peace: Philippians 4:6-7
If you're looking for that feeling of peace, the one that tells you everything is going to be alright, this is your formula.
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and your minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
It's a command: "Don't worry about anything." You have to replace the worry with something else. The formula is right there:
Pray about everything. Take every concern, no matter how small, to God.
Tell Him what you need. Be specific.
Thank Him for all He has done. Gratitude shifts your perspective from what you lack to what you have.
When you do this, something supernatural happens. You experience a peace that doesn't make logical sense. It guards your heart and mind like a spiritual bodyguard.
3. The Tool to Become Unshakable: James 1:2-4
You might be in a trial right now and wondering what good could possibly come from it. This scripture holds the key.
"Count it all joy, my brethren, when you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith will bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience."
This is a choice you have to make. You must actively choose to "count it all joy." This isn't because you enjoy the suffering, but because you know what the trial is producing.
Trials develop endurance, steadfastness, and patience—the very things that make you untouchable. They make you unfazable. When you have these things, no matter what the enemy throws at you, he can’t get to you. You can smile because you're not just enduring; you're getting stronger, better, and more developed.
4. The Act of Humility: 1 Peter 5:7
If you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, you need this scripture.
"Casting the whole of your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully."
This is how you get rid of that burden. You literally cast all of your cares onto Him. I have walked around my office many times, holding my Bible and saying out loud, "God, I cast all of my cares, all of my worries, all of my anxieties onto you, once and for all, because you care for me affectionately and watchfully. I refuse to worry. I have no cares to care about."
The word "cast" means to throw off. You're giving it to God, and you’re refusing to pick it back up. The devil will bring it back to your mind, but your response must be, "Nope, I refuse to worry. I've already cast my cares."
This is also an act of humility. If you're holding on to your cares, it means you believe you have to get it done yourself. You're not trusting God with them. Casting your cares is a declaration that you're trusting Him completely.
Two Simple Steps for Your Breakthrough
Everything is going to be okay. Now it's time to take action. Your faith isn't complete without corresponding action steps.
1. The Spiritual Step:
Get these scriptures. Write them down, print them out, or bookmark them in your Bible. Start speaking them out loud, just as I’ve described. This is how you align your thinking with what God says.
2. The Physical Step:
Ask God what your corresponding action step should be in this season. He will always answer you. As James 1:5 says, if you need wisdom, just ask. He loves to help.
Maybe your action step is to get more focused than ever. Perhaps you need to redesign your schedule and get more intentional with your time.
Whatever it is, put it in your calendar and execute on it.
Do the spiritual work, and do the physical work. Both are necessary to produce the fruit you're looking for.
