God’s Promise for the Anxious Heart






Hello there friends! 


Today I surrender to God, my anxious heart.  I use to struggle more than I do now with anxiety.  

Spiritual growth comes from the Holy Spirit leading us and the discipline of following the Word of God. Over many years, I have learned to surrender those fears, doubts and questions to God daily.  It’s not easy but I don’t want to fall down that pit of lies the enemy tries to feed my mind. 
Don’t get me wrong, I still struggle but now I have a action plan to help me when I do struggle

Pray, confess our sins then declare and claim God’s promises like Paul describes in 2 Corinthians chapter 1. 
 Here are just a few things I read and noted. 

What afflictions or sufferings are you dealing with today? 

Think on these things...

•God is our comfort 

•God is our hope 

 •God is our deliverer

 •God supplies abundantly 

Go check out 2 Corinthians Ch 1 today and see what God teaches you. 



Blessings -

September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 19









Today is Day 19 of the Positivity Scripture Challenge


“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I love this verse! It is a prayer for me and you everyday.  I believe we want our words and actions to be acceptable to the Lord. Our hearts are actually where it all starts.  Our heart must be filled with God’s love and all the goodness of Him so that our life will overflow to others. 

If you are in a place of doubt or sin, repent and pray this verse today.   Jesus is pursuing our hearts and wants devotion to Him. 

Blessings friends!

September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 18




Welcome to the last few posts of the September scripture challenge!  It has been good to read and write a devotional each day. I have been challenged and God has spoken to me for sure.  I hope you have enjoyed it too!

Today is Day 18 of the September Scripture Challenge


“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭ESV




Y’all I have felt alone.  I have been the one longing to be included in the conversations. I have been the one who wanted to be invited to the evening get togethers. I have been the one who wanted to go shopping with the girls or have your kids play together while we chatted. 
I have been the girl longing for friendship.  I have also been the girl who threw friends aside to pursue selfish desires. 
God designed friendship and somewhere along the years I have learned though I have friends and instead of wishing for a particular kind of friendship because what friendship looked like wasn’t what I thought it should be or wanted it to be. I needed to be that friend I was looking for.  I am to love others more than myself. God speaks to us about loving others more than ourselves. (See Matthew 22:35-39)  I am to make others feel like they aren’t alone or as a Mom our job and ministry is to raise and teach those little hearts to love God and others too! .
.


So if you think you are alone. You are not! God is with you in every season.  God is the best friend to pray with and talk to. I know because as a pastors wife He has been my constant friend when moving town to town and change occurred so much raising my little ones.  I hope if you are feeling alone, you will seek out the girl or mom who might need encouragement today❤️


Blessings-

September Positivity Scripture Challenge Day 17










Today is Day 17 of the Positivity Scripture Challenge ‬‬

“We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭CSB‬‬


God’s plan can’t be thwarted by our actions.  Even in the midst of our lives we make decisions and God already knew and does knows what will happen.  We still are to pray and to be used by Him to fulfill His purposes.  I have felt like the decisions I have made have really messed things up before and that’s just not the case.  Jesus called us to walk by faith so in that we are to trust Him and know that good will be the end result for us. 

Have a blessed day friends!
