When Lions walk around in the wild they walk knowing their authority. They do not cower when facing their enemy. They stand ready to defend or even attack at a moments notice. They do not seem to fear or worry. They are the king of the jungle.
Just like the lion we have been given authority on this earth over the enemy. Our enemy is Satan, the devil, Lucifer or whatever name you want to call him. When Jesus was crucified he went into hell made a show of the devil and stripped him of his authority on this earth. Jesus gave that authority to his believers. The problem is that many do not know their authority and live in the ignorance of it. They have not been taught spiritual warfare. This is not something to be mocked or scared of it. The devil wants to keep believers in the dark and ignorant of their authority. He does not want us to realize we can speak against him and all his cohorts.
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
God is not the author of cancer, illness, depression, sexual sin, pain or destruction. Satan wants to destroy God's people and he works with spiritual cohorts. He attacks us in our thought life and he will plant those seeds of doubt. He plants those sad seeds.
John 10:9-10
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
The enemy wants to destroy but Jesus came to give us life abundantly. He did not give his earthly body for us to shrink back afraid of the devil or life. He did not give us body so that we would doubt him. He gave his life so that we might in HIM have an abundant life.
I am not suggesting that bad things do not happen because they do. I am not suggesting that you will never get sick. I am telling you that you can speak to those things and take authority over them. You can speak to spirits of worry and spirits of fear and command it to flee!
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were cast into a fiery furnace because they did not bow to King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent an angel to be with him and the king looked saw 4 people in the furnace. The three men were not burned by the fire but protected by God. You can find this scripture reference in Daniel 3. You see we might have to go through some valleys and through the fire but our Lord will protect us.
Stay faithful and love your Lord. The Lord loves you so much that he gave his only begotten son so that you might have life. Take comfort in that. Find the scripture PROMISES for your situation and write them into daily confessions.
For example daily I speak Ps 118.17 over myself. " Thank you God that I will live and not die to declare the works of the Lord in this earth"
Ps 91:16
"Thank you God that you satisfy me with long life"

Lets Pray:
Father I pray that you would open the spiritual eyes and ears of those that have closed themselves from the truth. I pray that you would speak to the believers Lord and that you would become real to them. Burn in their hearts Lord and guide them Lord. I pray that whatever you are believing for today that you can strengthen your belief and faith. God you said that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed that we have all the faith we need. I pray like the mustard seed that we would grow our faith. I pray that we would find our strength in you Lord and in your word. We rebuke the enemy over all the believers Father. We pray for those that do not believe Lord and remove anti Christ spirits Lord. I pray the Holy Spirit to sweep across this earth and we would experience a revival like nothing seen before. We love you Lord and speak this in the authority of Jesus Christ! Thank you God!
