Facing tragedy or life’s storms alone can seem extremely difficult. During difficult times, feelings of hopelessness, misery, confusion and anxiety, uneasiness and anger can easily creep into our minds. These are all normal responses to terrible days when people, money or strength fails us, however tough life gets, we can always take comfort in knowing God will never fail us! I encourage you in the days ahead to remember you’re not alone, God is with you always and His desire is to give you a future filled with hope! (Jeremiah 29:11) God’s Word To You : “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, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior! (Isaiah 43:2 MSG) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, as I pray and meditate on your word, I thank you for growing my faith to believe and receive total victory! I thank you that I can al...

Greater Is He That Is In You ! (1 John 4:4) It’s too easy to raise both hands up and say, “This is too hard or impossible” and walk away. It's easy to quit, but it takes faith to press on to victory. God is great within you and greater is coming for you, if you do not give up. (Galatians 6:9) Today, you may be facing a situation that seems like an uphill journey or maybe something that seems impossible, but we serve an al ... mighty God that specializes in the impossible! (Jeremiah 32:27) I encourage you to take you worry, thoughts, cares, and lay them at the feet of Jesus, because Jesus cares for you!

In order to move forward into the greatness God has for us, it’s important that our focus is on the future he has preordained!

It is already happening!” (Isaiah 43:18-19) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, today I surrender to you all that I have and all that I am and I ask that you continue to order my steps.

Don’t Get Worked Up About What May Or May Not Happen Tomorrow! God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes! (Matthew 6:34 MSG) If we took a moment to think about the things we worried about in the past month or even the last couple of days, statistically only 8 to 10%  at most came to past. None of the worrying made the circumstances better; however, worrying can lead to high anxiety, which can trigger physical illness . The scripture teaches in 1 Peter 5:7, “Give all your worries and cares to God, because he cares about you!” (1 Peter 5:7) I encourage you to continue to stand in faith, no matter the trial or circumstance and believe God has everything under control!
