God’s children never walk alone through their struggles. (Deuteronomy 31:6) We have Immanuel, “God with us,” so we have nothing to fear, yet we fear the unknown. (Matthew 1:23) We fear, “What will the doctor’s test reveal?” “Will I get the job?” “Will he or she leave me?” The unknown is not only the valley, but it’s what happens after the valley, the future, what’s next, etc… “Will I be okay?” “How can I deal with “this”?” The unknown sometimes drives us to fear. In Psalm 23:4, the psalmist David placed his trust in God when he said, “For You are with me...” When God is with you, it does not matter who is not with you, for you or what’s up against you. (Romans 8:31-39) Nothing is allowed to come into your life or go out without God’s approval. God knows how much you can handle. (1 Corinthians 10:13) If God allowed “this” to happen, you can and will make it with God’s help! ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ) “Never worry about anything, but in every situation let Me know what you need in prayers...

Each day you wake with the goals and the plan of God in your heart, and you take action, doors of greater blessings, restoration and rewards are revealed to you, as an heir of God and joint heir with Jesus Christ! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:17) The moment you hear the Word of God and take action by faith, even if your sight is limited or you cannot see it, you invite God to move on your behalf in a supernatural way! (James 1:19-25, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:1, James 2:17) “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end, because I am God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior!” (Isaiah 43:2 MSG) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, You have come to my rescue many times before and you’ve turned my worst day around for my good and for Your glory. (Romans 8:28) Father, thank You that I can take comfort in knowing You know my name and You know my situation, s...

No matter the circumstances, if you’re following Christ, He’ll ALWAYS lead you in a victory parade! You’ll experience victory in areas of your life where it seems the only option is disappointment or loss. This God given victory is all-inclusive, because the scripture says, Christ “ALWAYS,” meaning it’s not a hit or miss! From death to life, illness to healed, jobless to a successful career, from stress to no worries, from struggle to accomplishment, from sadness to joy, etc… I encourage you to change your focus on your condition, even if it seems like there is no progress, if your trust is in the LORD, nothing will interrupt your victory! In all things you’re more than a conqueror through Him who loves you! (Romans 8:37)  “I've told you this so that My peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world!" (John 16:33 GWT) ~ GOD    Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your plans for me are amazing and almost impossible for...

Hebrews 10:36 teaches, “After you have done the will of the LORD, you will receive not some, but all God has promised!” If you waiting on God don’t quit, don’t turn away from the problem, pace yourself, seek and receive the promises of God in abundance physically, financially, relationally and emotionally, according to God’s perfect will! (Isaiah 40:31, Galatians 6:9, Ecclesiastes 9:11, Matthew 7:7, Psalm 25:3-4) I encourage you while waiting, to remain positive, keep your expectations high, let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions speak louder than your words! ( Hebrews 10:35, James 2:14)    “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!” “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays!”(Jeremiah 29:11, Ezekiel 12:25) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, Your Word says that You will strengthen me for whatever You allow in my life. (Colossians 1:9-12) I ask...

… Through His Mighty Power At Work Within You, God Is Able To Accomplish Infinitely More Than You Can Ask Or Think ! (Ephesians 3:20) God wishes to reveal His supernatural power, but you can’t allow your surroundings to cause you to settle with mediocrity and you become stuck, instead of pressing toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 3:14) I encourage you, rather than limiting God based on circumstance, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, to lead and guide you! See our God almighty at work in your circumstance and His greatness at work within you! (1 John 4:4) "Nothing is too hard for Me!” (Jeremiah 32:27 GWT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, as I seek Your Kingdom daily, my desire is that my ears and my heart will be in tune with Your voice. Help me to remain aware of the life You’ve given me that goes beyond my physical senses, so I will continually fix my mind on heaven and not on things of this earth. (Colossians 3:1-3, Romans 12:2...

Do Not Get Tired Of Doing What Is Good. At Just The Right Time You Will Reap A Harvest Of Blessing If You Don't Give Up! (Galatians 6:9) Challenges are a part of life and are to be expected; however they’re not intended to break us, but rather to build us and prepare us for greater. The stretching of your faith has given you the expansion to contain the incredible harvest God has promised you in this season. (James 1:3, Matthew 9:17) God causes everything to happen at exactly the right time! (2 Peter 3:1-9) I encourage you to remain confident, see through the lens of spiritual discipline the advantages God has given you of greater peace, greater favor and a greater anointing! You will see the goodness of the LORD this season! (Psalm 27:13-14)  "In the time of My favor I heard you and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of My favor, now is the day of salvation!” (2 Corinthians 6:2) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for...

In order to move forward into the preordained greater God has for you, it’s important that you don’t lose focus and you run in such a way to win the prize! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28, 1 Corinthians 9:24) It’s easy instead of running the race with faith, patience and determination, to run away from situations that are frustrating or seemingly impossible. In the race of life, we will have hurdles, twists, turns, ups and downs, but it prepares us for greater and reveals to us the greatness of God within us! (Matthew 24:13, 1 John 4:4) I encourage you to endure until the end, even if you’re not the fastest or the strongest runner—God has greater for you! (Ecclesiastes 9:11, Matthew 24:13, Hebrews 11:39-40) “Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new. It’s already happening. Don't you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land!” (Isaiah 43:18-19 GWT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With ...
