Stand Firm in Faith!

As a child of God, you can rest in the promise that He will take care of you no matter what you face. His word reminds us in Philippians 4:19 that “my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” That means every need, every burden, and every concern is already known and provided for in Him.

Life will bring trials and battles, and some seasons will feel heavier than others. In those moments, hold tightly to the truth found in Deuteronomy 31:6, “He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” You are never alone in the struggle. His presence goes before you, stands beside you, and remains within you.

When the weight feels overwhelming, remember Hebrews 13:5, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” This is not a temporary promise. It is an everlasting assurance that no matter how fierce the battle becomes, God is always there.

Stand firm in faith, knowing that the same God who called you His own will sustain you, keep you, and carry you through every trial.

And God says, "I have heard your cries. I can feel your pain. I have not forgotten you. I know that you may not understand all that I do and allow. But I AM always in control. I alone have ALL power. Out of your hurt and disappointment, I will bring great joy. I need you to hold on through these difficult days. But everything is going to be alright. Place your faith and your trust in Me like never before. I make beauty from ashes. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy will come in the morning. Be still and know that I AM God." I encourage you to lean on Psalm 46:10 in the middle of your 'I'm not understanding this' situation(s)!

Sometimes Faith Means!

Sometimes faith means standing in a place where nothing around you seems certain, yet choosing to trust God anyway.

There are seasons when our prayers seem to go unanswered, when what we have doesn’t seem like enough, and when the future feels uncertain. In moments like that, it’s easy to judge God’s goodness by what we can see happening around us. But real faith shifts our focus. It reminds us that even when circumstances change, God does not.

Even when the harvest seems small, He is still our provider.

Even when the path ahead is unclear, He is still our guide.

Even when our strength feels gone, He is still our sustainer and refuge.

Faith like this doesn’t grow out of perfect conditions. It grows in the quiet places where we keep choosing to trust Him one day at a time. In the middle of the uncertainty, hearts begin to rest and a confidence begins to grow—not because life is easy, but because our hope is anchored in the One who never fails.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” — Habakkuk 2:4

God Hears You!

"I hear your prayers... I hear your pleas... I hear you giving me all of the glory, I will respond with blessings that will pour out like manna pouring from Heaven as you continue to lift up my name..."

I had shared with someone recently, something specifically about not quitting no matter how much the enemy fights us, if we sit down we can get down. God desires us to busy about His will. I want to be busy about my Father's business, and if you're still above ground He's not finished with you yet. In the group I was sharing this with, one of the young girls stood up to testify and shared how the enemy had been fighting her and she had said that morning she was going to quit but was crying out to God for answers and then when I shared what I shared everything just broke off of her. She got up and sang the song "praise you in this storm!" as I was at a church service when sharing this! When I say I understood immediately why it's been such a weariness that I've been pushing through since New Year's it's like I 100% understood it in that moment with that precious girl in that church service! The enemy doesn't want us testifying of God's goodness yet God is already preparing the way for us to be at the right time at the right place to help someone at His divine intervention to keep going!

I guess the Lord is helping me know just how important it is to NOT to grow weary in well doing! If even one person can be encouraged in the Lord it is worth it! Growing pains are hard but moments like this make it worth it when you understand the WHY! Physically I may feel tired, but spiritually I am refreshed!

God's Renewal!

Theme Verse: “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” - Isaiah 43:19

1. God Renews Our Hearts

Key Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26 — “ I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

God doesn’t just improve us—He transforms us from the inside out. ••• Question: What are signs that God is renewing your heart?

2. God Renews Our Minds

Key Scripture: Romans 12:2 — “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Renewal happens when we replace worldly thinking with God’s truth. Our thoughts shape our actions, and God wants to reshape both. •••• Question: What thoughts do you struggle to surrender to God?

3. God Renews Our Strength

Key Scripture: Isaiah 40:31 - “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

When we feel weak, God provides supernatural strength—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. ••• Question: What does it look like for you to “wait on the Lord”?

4. God Renews Our Spirit Daily

Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16 - “Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” - NLT version says, “That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every

day.”

Even when life wears us down, God is constantly working within us, renewing us every single day. ••• Question: How have you seen God sustain you through difficult seasons and renewed your strength?

5. God Makes All Things New (God Renews)

Key Scripture: Revelation 21:5 - “And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.”

God’s renewal is not temporary—it’s eternal. One day, He will restore everything fully. Hold onto hope. God is still working.. ••• Question: What areas of your life do you need to trust God to restore and renew?

Taking Your Issues To God!

What the Lord has taught me and delivered me from and I am so thankful that He doesn't give up on us, that He keeps working on us and helping us grow in Him.... go with the option on the right in the photo attached below!

My prayer: "Dear Lord, please continue to help me to not be a part of negativity, a back biter, a gossiper, or a fault finder! Lord, help me to always sincerely pray for the offender, pray for the deliverance of others, and show them grace and mercy and compassion just as you show me! Lord, help me to always be an encouragement to others. Amen."

In prayer time over this years ago, the Lord spoke to me and said "if only people found it as easy to talk to Me about their issues as they do to others, how different churches and our lives would be"!?
