But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before you and trust in you with all my heart. What harm could a man bring to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes. The roaring praises of God fill my heart as I trust his promises. Psalms 56:3-4 TPT
“When you are lonely, God is your friend.
When you are tired, God is your strength.
When you are hungry, God is your Bread of Life.
When you are dry, God is your living water.
When you are insecure, God is your confidence.
When you are empty, God is your fulfillment.”

Look To God ~ Focus Up
Friends, life can suddenly have a crooked path to follow, one where we can’t see ahead around the bend, and it seems like an uphill battle is ahead. During times such as these, naturally our minds want to chart our way, we start overthinking, and then get soul exhausted when we find we can’t even wrap our mind around this change of venue. This is a transitional time, in our chaotic culture, a new era which we are spontaneously trying to live out as we navigate uncharted waters. Apart from God, these will be stressful times. God is doing a new thing; we must trust Him in it. When we are in transitional times and the battle kicks up in a strong way, we sometimes wrongly seek for answers from the world, and we look for things that can never help us with our anxiety, quench our comfort or satisfy our need to know. We need to know and believe that our God is a Deliverer, and He WILL see us through. God sees us, God knows exactly where we are and what we need to get through this circumstance. God will equip us day to day. God will make a good way for us as we surrender to Him, giving Him total access to our lives, yielding our will and our way to Him. The parched wilderness we find ourselves in, our personal desert land, it will become lush and fertile as we stay in a vital-vertical relationship with God’s way, truth and life. God never leaves us alone, whether in sickness or health, good or bad, He has a plan to see us through, a way for us to grow through. Jesus is a Way-Maker God! Got an uphill battle? God will see us through, there is no doubt about this, so let’s pray to the ONE Who can change things up! Be encouraged by this 1 Minute Encouragement Video:
Pray It Up ~ Change It Up
Father God, on this day, I look to You, I listen to You, I will believe You. Holy Spirit, My Advocate, My Navigator, You are my enough. Jesus, Spirit and Truth, I will follow you, in a followship that has no room for doubt, fear or anxiety, heart to heart with You. I pray for a willessness, a yielding to You, in whatever life season I am in Lord God, whether You are answering my prayer, or I am sowing in prayer to You, out of my belief, faith and hope. We know this: God You Are Our Deliverer. We trust You, as we cast all of our care on You. We pray to you, and we know You hear us, immediately. Thank you, Lord God that Your good purposes are in play in our lives and Your providential care is at work for our good and Your glory. We want to walk with You, in complete followship with You. Jesus, forgive us for our doubt, help us to shake it off and not only believe Who You are, but believe what You Promised will work out in the way You purposefully command it. Holy Spirit, give us confidence and help us not to need to wrap our minds around Your way, help us to believe in Your goodness, no matter what our situations look like. We hope to wholly-holy trust You, no matter the path You are taking us down. Chart our course, Jesus, we give you total access to our navigation. We hope to stay in followship of You no matter if it is straightforward or if it is roundabout, it is still You in the lead. Father God, we are so grateful that we are never alone in our life battles, in our deserts, or in our fiery life tests. Jesus, You see us through. Father God, teach us to wholly-holy trust You, to cling to Jesus, and dig our life roots deeply in Your Kingdom. Thank you. Amen.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— Ephesians 6:10-18
