6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
As I was praying this morning I heard the LORD saying in my spirit to to comfortable and confident because I care for you. And share this with My people…
So it is scriptural be the Holy Ghost is the comforter- John 14:26
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Comfort help us not to be troubled- John 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
To be comfortable- not ease or idle; but to be at PEACE in the midst, of trouble, pain, and difficulties...
We must FOCUS= on walking by FAITH and not by sight.
What we see can scare us, overwhelm us, what we see is reality but faith in succeeds natural things. We do not deny that things exist we us faith to get us revelation to overcome the natural cares that come to choke the WORD out of us.
For example gravity is real what goes up my come down.
But the law of lift succeed the law of gravity. Therefore allowing thing to fly. ( My toss a piece of paper that falls)
Toss paper airplane. It flies.
Therefore a life that focuses on the cares, troubles. sin, and every weight will fall down and be burdened.
However the life the lives by faith will be lifted up like wings of eagle to soar and fulfill purpose despite of the weights and cares.
Focusing on walking by faith in God builds confidence that if God is for us who can be against- Romans 8:31-33
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
We have confident because the Holy Spirits enables us to walk by faith through all the trails and problems of life.

Obeying God when you don’t understand
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Jesus the author and finisher of faith
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; And every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Abram was called the Abramham the father of many nations.
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
God call those as though they were.
Jesus proclaimed who he was before he did one miracle.

Therefore we should use our WORDS - to speak faith over every area of lives.
