Whenever I begin to feel overwhelmed, I remind myself of Deuteronomy 31:8:
“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."🥹🫶
Some family members may not be able to contribute financially to weddings, graduations, funerals, or other gatherings—but they show up with their hands and their hearts. Don’t overlook the uncle who doesn’t give money but ensures the cow is properly slaughtered.
my therapist told me the only way to control your emotions is to show them. you can’t control sadness you never show. then your sadness turns to anger, hostility, bitterness and resentment. and you have officially created a monster.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father,
Some days I show up tired.
Not just physically, but tired in the soul.
Tired of waiting. Tired of wondering. Tired of holding on to faith that feels fragile.
But you see me.
You know when I’m barely holding it together behind the smiles.
And today, I don’t need to impress you. I just need you to meet me.
I still believe You’re a God of timing, so help me trust You when I feel behind.
I still believe you open doors, so teach me patience when all I see are walls.
I still believe you love me, so show me how to love myself through this process.
I don’t want to fake strength anymore.
I want to feel peace that doesn’t depend on outcomes.
I want to walk like someone who is deeply loved, even when nothing looks perfect.
So today, I let go of the pressure.
I choose faith over fear. Process over panic.
I may not have all the answers, but I know You’ve never failed me, and You won’t start now.
This is my decree:
What has felt stuck is breaking loose.
What looked delayed is about to be delivered.
What I couldn’t see is about to be revealed.
I AM STILL ON HEAVEN’S SCHEDULE.
I will arrive right on time, for the promise, the purpose, and the power that’s been assigned to my name.
Let today be drenched in quiet victory.
Let my steps be light again. Let my heart breathe again.
And even if the miracle is still on the way, let hope rise now. Amen.
God, thank You for everyone who received what they've been praying for this month. Those of us who are still waiting, renew our strength and help us not grow weary. Lead us into the month of July LORD. Amen
