When has this happened in your life?!?
Sometimes we don't realize at the time what God is putting us through - we go through it more or less without understanding.
Then suddenly we come to a place of realization - "God has strengthened me and I didn't even know it!"
Praise God!
Sometimes it is so difficult to understand what is happening in our lives.
Let’s leave it in God’s hands and PRAY for Him to help us through it.
Sometimes we think so much about what we are to do, we neglect thinking about who we are to be.
Find PEACE by Focusing on God's Promises.
Trust God to do what He says; what He promises you.
You are a God of order and clarity, not of chaos and confusion.
Thank you are guiding every one of my decisions for a life of peace, joy, and hope.
Living a life with a spirit of order and clarity gives me peace beyond understanding!

“A much-needed message for us to stop striving and seeking the world’s approval. Instead, Brittany and Cassandra guide us to live from the worth that’s already been given to us by Jesus. A life-giving message for all to embrace!”
It was so humbling to talk with Isik Abla during our time together as she shared some of the most intimate details of her story and how she came to know Jesus and have a relationship with Him.
I was really touched when she shared her redemptive story from abusive situations and thoughts of suicide to now helping the world know Jesus.
When I asked Isik Abla about her experience of suicidal thoughts, she replied with these wise words...
"Suicide never happens in 1 day... it's a lot of seeds the enemy plants in people."
Watch the entire episode to learn more about how she went from having suicidal thoughts to sharing Jesus with the world!
I’m so grateful to get to share this episode with you. You're going to love this!
We are not promised it will be easy, We are promised God will be with us.
Remind yourself to praise Him even when you're not getting an answer, or when the answer is not the one you want.
Let's remember His plans are always best for us.
Let's praise Him and wait patiently for Him to move... to open a new door for us to go through.
Though it may seem impossible at times, healing is possible through Christ.

When we are rooted in Him, we have no reason to be afraid - nothing can shake us!
As God's Word says, "Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness." Colossians 2:7
Relax, everything's going to be all right; rest, everything's coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way! Jude 2
When it is not in God's time, you cannot force it. When it is in God's time, you cannot stop it.
The pain you’ve been feeling can’t compare to the joy that is coming!
Think of when you have experienced this for yourself.
Think of when Jesus showed up in the middle of the night, walking on water.
He showed up for the disciples in unexpected ways at unexpected times!
Read Matthew 14:22-33 and be assured, He is right there for you.
How can we join you in prayer today?
Remember: prayer need not be in a certain setting, at a particular time of day, or said with specific phrasing.
God welcomes our prayers regardless of how or when we speak them, and He welcomes prayers of thankfulness, praise, repentance, requests, and cries for help.
Pray all day, every day, because you can, and He hears you!
So, what are you praying for today?
Encourage your friends!
It's easy to hyperfocus on our insecurities or to get stuck in the comparison game.
We look at others and think they are more loved, more worthy, more important, more popular, and the list goes on.
We speak so negatively to ourselves that it feeds our insecurities, and we lose focus on who God says we are.
As His children, we are fully known AND fully loved.
He knows all the things we struggle with and all the ways we believe we don't measure up.
He knows our flaws and insecurities.
He knows all the ways we have ever sinned and the sin we will continue to commit.
And yet, He loves us anyway!
That is such a beautiful truth and one we need to reflect on when we get stuck on our insecurities or in the comparison game.
God, I need you just as much on my best day as I do on my worst day.
And who of you by worrying can add one hour to the length of his life? Matthew 6:27
Wait for His timing and have faith!
He does amazing things that we would not even believe if He told us. Habakkuk 1:5
You are NEVER too far gone to come back to face Jesus.
It does not matter what you have done or what has been done to you.
God loves you! Turn back to Him.
He is right there waiting for you to see Him and start a fresh relationship with you.
He wants to forgive you!
All you have to do is ask!
Sometimes desperation sets in, and we long for a revelation in our lives.
Do we long for the revelation to be from God, though?
Our desperation may make us go looking for the revelation to be from somewhere other than God.
We may fall on our knees, but not before God.
It shows us that even though we may have an anointing of God, our hearts may be far from Him.
Instead, let’s look to God in times of desperation!
We can fall to our knees before God and seek HIS answers in our times of desperation.
Let's keep our hearts close to the LORD and not anything else.
Are you listening for God?
1 Kings 19:11-12 reminds us He is also found in the sound of a gentle blowing.
He doesn't always reveal Himself only in powerful, miraculous ways.
Look for God when you spend time away from the noise of your life and listen humbly and quietly for his guidance.
It may come when you least expect it!
God promises to provide the weary with strength and increase the power of the weak.
Those who wait on the Lord will experience renewed strength. Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
I always have to remind myself to praise Him even when I'm not getting an answer, or when the answer is not the one I wanted.
I remember His plans are always best for me.
Let's praise Him and wait patiently for Him to move... to open a new door for us to go through.
We always win, with Him first!
We are never last or left empty-handed!
As Matthew 6 says, when we seek God first, we will receive everything we need in His perfect timing.
Many people fear abandonment in this life, so it is comforting to know that God will never abandon us!
He never fails us or leaves us.
Take heart and know that He is in control and protecting you!
The Lord himself will lead you and be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you, so do not lose courage or be afraid. Deuteronomy 31:8
d tells us not to worry about our lives (Luke 12:22; Matthew 6:25-34), yet we so frequently do!
We have to consciously remember that God is in control.
He is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
God is faithful! Faithfulness is the essence of God!!!
He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Psalm 91:4
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise. Hebrews 10:23
When you start wondering where you are going, Have Faith!!!
God already prepared the BEST answer!
Obey Him, walk on His path for your life.
Trust God because He knows exactly where you are going!
Jesus has a life of abundance for us!
He promises this to us in John 10:10.
Sometimes we hold on to our resources (our money, our time, our talents) because we are afraid we might run out.
The world tells us that life is scarce.
This is NOT true!
Our life is a life of abundance because of Jesus.
We will NEVER run out, we will always produce more, especially when we are generous.
Giving is the way to live.
It may sound too good to be true, but it IS true.
When you choose to put Him first, everything else falls into place.
You will still face challenges in your other priorities (like family, friends, or work), but with Him first, you will be choosing to fight each of these battles with Him on your side.
Life is easier to manage, and is more joy-filled, when He is FIRST on your list.
When you place JESUS first in your life, you will have the rest of your priorities in order and view them from the best perspective.
Are you in the pit? Do you simply feel like crying?
Do you need something to lift you out of the depressing thoughts, the anxious times, the challenges that continue to make you worry?
I want you to focus on this promise from God!
"I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along." Psalm 40:2
God's hand is always stretched out to you.
Reach your hand back to Him! He hears your cries.
He will lift you out of the pit of whatever you're going through!
He will set your feet on the solid foundation.
He is our ROCK! Walk with Jesus. Jesus is our TRUE hope!
Do you follow Jesus?
To follow Him means to move behind Him in the same direction.
To go after Jesus!
Sometimes this feels easy.
However, sometimes it feels so difficult!
When God takes you down a lonely path or a difficult journey, do you slow down?
Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!" And they left their nets at once and followed Him. Matthew 4:19-20
There will be struggles in our lives.
God will give us the strength to live through them though!
Don't wait until you're at the end of your rope.
Call on God first in every situation.
Let's look to God as our first resort, not our last resort.
Let's look to him for help each day even when life isn't easy.
