I let go...

I let go of my fears because I have faith in your love I let go of my cares because I have faith in your strength I let go of my worries because I have faith in your words I let go of my desires because I have faith in your plans I let go of all because I know you will never fail I let go of all because I choose to trust in you Psalms 112:7b - I confidently trust the Lord to care for me.

Move, do not hestiate

Genesis 19:15-16 At dawn the next morning the angels became insistent. “Hurry,” they said to Lot. “Take your wife and your two daughters who are here. Get out right now, or you will be swept away in the destruction of the city!” 16 When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the Lord was merciful. When I read this I was dumbfounded by the reaction of Lot. God sent him a message that everyone in the city he was living in will be destroyed, so he should leave. What did Lot do, leave. No, he hesitated even though he knew the consequences of staying. Why did he hesitate, was he afraid of the unknown, did he not trust God. God was still merciful to Lot, God’s angels seized the hands of Lot and his family and rushed them to safety. God challenged me that I also do this. When God lays something on my heart I sometimes hesitate and in some cases I don't do it out of fear of the unkno...

In spite of everything, God still loves me

My doubts do not separate me from the love of God As high as the heavens is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him I am imprinted on the palms of is His hand. His thoughts of me outnumber the grains of sand on the beach He sees the worst in me yet still believes the best of me My sins of yesterday and my failings in the future do not surprise him He knows them all He knows me better than I know myself In spite of everything, God still loves me

I will never be rejected

I will never be rejected by God because my relationship with Him is not based on my performance but on Christ I will never be rejected by God because my relationship with Him is not based on my conclusions, feelings or thoughts but on Christ sacrifice I will never be rejected by God because my relationship with Him is not based on my works but based on what Christ did on the cross. I will never be rejected by God because my relationship with Him is not based on my fears but on His love for me. I will never be rejected by God because He first loved me.

The Lord is with me

Your God will never leave you. Here is his promise to every believer: "I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you 'Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid'" (Isaiah 41:13-14) What love, what assurance we have in God's promises. He says He will never leave us. He is there taking us by the hand and holding us close. Why are you afraid or fretting about what the day will hold. Don't you know that as soon as you wake the Lord of all takes hold of your hands and walks by your side guiding your every step as He leads you through the day. Face today and indeed every other day with joy, boldness and anticipation knowing that your Heavenly Father is with you and He is holding your hands. He is with you every step of the way - through the good, the bad, the ugly and sad times.

When you feel God is silent

We should not gauge God's presence in our lives based on feelings. Our feelings are fickle, temporary emotions that changes with circumstances in our lives. Thank God our salvation is far deeper than temporary emotions. When we don’t feel God’s presence, it doesn’t mean He isn’t near. When we don’t see active movement from Him in our lives, it doesn’t mean He isn’t working. Thank God that His word is our truth, not the way we feel when we get up in the morning! Don't trust your feelings, but trust God's love and God's promises that will never fail. Psalms 66:9 - Our lives are in His hands.

Learn to wait

But I am trusting you O Lord, saying, You are my God. My future is in your hands Psalm 31:14-15a  God knows what I need, when I need it. God knows how to do it and how to get it to me. God will do it in His own time, not in my own time; God will give me what I need, not what I think I need God will do it and get it to me in His own way, not the way I think He should do it God has a set time for accomplishing things in my life and He will do it in His own time and not in my time, so I must learn to wait. In my waiting I must learn to be patient In my waiting, I must learn to wait in joy In my waiting, I must learn to trust him In my waiting I must enjoy where I am In my waiting I must remember to thank him for where I am
