Hope In Every Season

 “Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭NLT

Everything feels so heavy. The prayer requests for the sick and hurting. The natural disasters and civil disruption around the world we see happening. It’s too much. It’s all too much for my heart most days. My heart aches and feels helpless yet I know there is hope. I hear the prayer requests and pray. My prayers can seem so small but I don’t want to underestimate the power of prayer. I believe our prayers bring down the power of God upon our lives. In my flesh I want to do more than pray because it seems too small. Yet this simple act of obedience makes a huge impact in the kingdom. God wants His children to pray and be alert.‬‬ 

“But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.”

‭‭Micah‬ ‭7:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

There is hope in every occasion even if we are blinded by those circumstances. I know His goodness is here. I want to feel it. Don’t you? I don’t want to stop praying in the highs of life to only be found one day at the lowest searching for God.

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today my prayer is that I will rise to the occasion fighting in prayer for others. 

Pray without ceasing. 

Pray with a trusting heart. 

Pray with my sisters in Christ. 

Pray for those needs and requests around me daily! 

The Lord will Fight for us!

Day 2

Read: 

“The thief come early to steal and kill and destroy. I came so that they may have life and have it abundantly.” 

John 10:10

If we know that there is a enemy trying everyday to destroy our life, our family and our marriages then why would we not be on guard?  I ask this question knowing I am guilty of being comfortable in life and forgetting that there is evil fighting against the good.  A enemy fighting to steal my family, sense of security and peace. 

God wants to remind us that He is working for us.  We shouldn’t go around in fear but God gives us the armor to suit up with everyday.  

His Word to read and gain knowledge against the enemy. 

His Spirit to listen to and guide us. 

His righteousness and peace in Christ. 

(See Ephesians 6:10-18 for more about the armor of God) 

There is strength and power in prayer. Knowing God is on our side to fight the battle is powerful. Don’t let the enemy steal your peace, joy or your mind from God.  Take a hold of the Father today in prayer!  He will fight for your marriage, children, and you! 

Prayer: 

“The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? “

Psalms 27:1

Lord, today keep in your light. We know the thief is lurking by us but you have the victory. Thank you for salvation of our sins. We ask forgiveness from any sin separating us from you. We want to live in your light.  We want to shine for you! Let nothing take a hold of us but you. Be our stronghold Lord Jesus! 

Amen

September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 14

Hello friends! 

The month is almost gone but we are still plugging away at scripture and I hope you are learning and meditating on these verses this month.  I have enjoyed writing and digging into them with you all! 

Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 14 

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.””

Romans1:17NASB

As a believer and follower of Jesus, we are made righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ.  There is not anything in me that is good.  Jesus Christ makes me good. 

God is who we must learn about in order to know who we should be and how we can through faith grow.  I use to think since God saved me from sin, I didn’t have to worry about anything else.  I could just sit back and not really do anything else.  My faith would just be there.  My knowledge was still second hand from the Pastor.  My knowledge came from the world more than the Bible and as a result my faith was weak. 

I since have learned my faith can not grow without more knowledge of God than anything else.  I can not expect to know how to walk in faith if my faith is still only what others tell me.  

The Bible is for every one of us.  God expects us to learn and become His partner in growing our faith together. Today will you open the Word with me and pray that the Holy Spirit will fill us and help us to learn more about who God is?   

Blessings-

Are you Praying BIG!

Hello Friends!

Gods word always changes my worry into worship. Hebrews 4:16 says come confidently to God and He will give us mercy and find grace in our time of need.

Are you praying in confidence to our Heavenly Father? He wants all of our heart, mind, and body and our Big Prayers to Him that if He isn't in that thing your praying for or about it will not work, be healed, or happen in our lives.  We have to give it all to Him in confident prayers.

My WHY 

I started creating bracelets that encourage women began about a year and a half ago when I needed to be encouraged during a season of life that felt like I was suffocating and drowning in the pit of parenting struggles with teenager. Have you felt that way before? Or maybe you are there now? I can tell you you are not alone friends. Prayer and God's Truth is where you can find an ever present help, always 💞 

His Word fed my soul and words just seemed to leap off the page and I wanted them to wear daily. So I began this dream to create bracelets using my God given talent, knitting and the need for scripture to be in front of me and you guys have blessed supporting me and more importantly God has used you guys to encourage me when I doubted in myself. 

So today I pray for the mother, sister, wife, friend and woman who needs to feed her faith and not the lies, pray big to our Heavenly Father. 

Grace to you friends!
