Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Chris, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2

There are many things that the devil wishes to hold us back with. Do not allow negative thoughts or the talk of humans control you. Instead, seek the truth which is God in every way.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17

It is true Christ went before us and suffered through all of our tribulations, but every time we go through a trial, He is there with us again. Additionally, we are able to rejoice in the joy of knowing the truth– God is Messiah, and He is calling us His own.

Hope brings motivation.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18

For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:24-25

Though the present may seem dull or challenging God brings us a sense of hope; for ourselves, and for humanity if we choose to follow Him. The hope of a great future can be an easy idea to wrestle with because we are unable to know the plans God has for us, but part of faith is trusting in Him.

Nothing can separate – we have the Spirit within us.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness… And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. Romans 8:26-27

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Romans 8:35

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither life nor death, neither angels nor demons, nor any powers…will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 8:37-39

God is always with us in the form of the holy spirit. We were made in His image! Do not let troubles hold you down for God will always be with you if you need Him ask for His presence and He will surely present Himself to you.

God’s mercy is the ultimate.
It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. Romans 9:16

Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and hardens whom he wants to harden. Romans 9:18

but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. Romans 9:31-32

Though people may follow rules and laws, that is not the complete life God has intended for us.
He wants us to test our faith, to walk upon the water, and to follow Him even when and especially when the future is not certain.
