I heard this method of how to face impossible giants the other day. It helps remind me how to think and act in the overwhelming moments when I lose focus.
F - Focus on God, not the problem. (Our default is to forget about the attributes of the ALL powerful and loving God, while zooming in on our impossibilities and fears... don't do that!)
A - Act on Biblical principles, not your feelings. (Our default is to do what feels rights to us and forget about the guaranteed eternal truths of God's Word... don't do that!)
C - Confront it, don't run away from it. (David ran out after Goliath! Our default is to practice the ministry of avoidance and shrink back from the very things that God wants to give us as a victory to draw people in... don't do that!)
E - Empower others by your example. (You are the representative of Jesus. There is a lid on your leadership and influence... you.)
So face whatever it is... offense, impossible situations, hurt, anger, family problems, fear of what God has called you to do, mockers, haters, doubt, depression, worry, addiction, whatever it is... God wants to KILL that thing through you. FACE it.
