We live in a broken world full of broken people. But isn’t it comforting to know God isn’t ever broken? He isn’t ever caught off guard, taken by surprise, or shocked by what happens next in our lives.
We are safe in His hands.
Our proclamation to stick with Jesus when hard situations beg us to give up: Jesus, I’m sticking with You. I’m giving You what I don’t understand and what I can’t fix. I know without a doubt that You see me, You hear me, and You love me. I love You and trust You, even in this.
Wouldn’t this world be so much gentler and kinder if only we were all more considerate with our words? Today is the perfect day to reveal how powerfully beautiful our hearts are by the carefully chosen words we speak. 💕
Right in the middle of this moment, whether happy or sad, is the chance to see God’s fingerprint. He is Emmanuel and He is with you. All day, every day. He will not leave you or forsake you. Lean into His presence today. He is Emmanuel—God with us...God with you.
Whatever you face today, “you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the Lord gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged” (1 Chronicles 22:13).
Joy. Peace. Hope.
These are things my team and I are praying for you tonight, sweet friend.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Father God, thank You for using all things for our good, even disappointment. Help us to look at our disappointments with fresh eyes, discovering gifts where we are tempted to only see heartache. We're choosing to believe You have purpose in this season. Work in us & through us.
God is our rescuer. He is the One who will sustain us. And He is more than able to bring His plans to pass.
“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Isaiah 46:4
God doesn’t look at you and see a mess. He looks at you and sees a masterpiece in the making! You are not too messy for God. He specializes in making old things new, turning scarlet sins into spotless snow, and transforming ashes into beauty.
What is consuming your thoughts today, friend? Doubt? Fear? Bitterness? Anger?
Satan knows what consumes us controls us.
Let's hand all of those feelings over to Jesus & consume our thoughts with Him. He loves us. He's for us. And we can trust Him with all of our heart.
My friend, If you’re feeling like your prayers are being left unanswered, go back to His Word and remind yourself of His promises.
No matter what, His answers are for your good, even if you don’t understand why right this moment. Rest in that truth today, dear ones.
God, I want to see You.
God, I want to hear You.
God, I want to follow hard after You.
And I know …
God, You are good.
You are good to me.
You are good at being God.
Here’s one thing I always know for certain … what the enemy meant for evil God will use for good.
I will trust in God. Serve God. And even in the darkest nights when I still cry, I will find rest in the light of his love. Then tomorrow, I’ll get up and do it all again.
As you walk into this day, live encouraged that you’re not walking alone in your pain. You’re not walking misunderstood. You’re walking with Jesus. He hears you. He sees you. He understands you.
