I am so grateful for God’s love and His hope!
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I felt under attack this morning. The lies of the enemy were coming at me FAST, but I made the conscious choice to fight back.
I fought the lies of the enemy and pushed my way to early morning prayer. I am grateful for a divine appointment when I first arrived. God is so good to me! After having such an emotional week, He made a way for me to make a much needed connection.
Worship today was like fresh water to this dry and thirsty wanderer. I needed corporate worship with others who have fire and passion that can’t be quenched.
I have been in the strangest place lately. I am at a different level — a new place — and it feels uncertain. I am stepping into territory that isn’t familiar. Blind faith. Sometimes new places can feel alone, but I’m not alone.
Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Sometimes we are in places of solitude (or that seem like solitude) so that we can hear more clearly from the Lord.
I am really looking forward to my time with Him in the morning. I need clarity and direction. I need to just sit before His throne and feel His love. Don’t you?
Psalm 143:8
Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life.
I am thankful that even in the most uncertain of times, our God is with us.
Maybe some of you need that reminder too. God is with YOU. He hasn’t FORSAKEN YOU or FORGOTTEN YOU.
God bless you all!
You know I am embarasses to say that I was under attack all day yesterday & not once did it occur to me to turn to Our Father.
I listened to the lies of Satan all day without even realizing it.
Next time I will be better prepared.
Hugs & Love,
Mimi
I'm just grateful that we can approach Him anytime, anywhere…May God bless and protect you always.
I too need that time to just be still before God and hear His voice and acknowledge His love for me…so that I can quite the words of the enemy!
Have a blessed week as God meets you daily!
Seems like many of His daughters have been under attack lately. I too need to just sit before His throne. Thank you for your kind words on my most recent post…for reminding me it's not about "me", but an illness. I love you sistah!
Amen, sister! Sometimes we turn that tape recorder of lies on in our brain and we forget that we can turn it off with God's strength! We don't have to listen!
Love you and one of these days I'm going to call you so we can have a REAL-time chat (of course I'll have to ask for your number first, lol!)
Hi Beth! You don't know how much I needed to read this (thank you, Lord)! We have been going through some major spiritual warfare and I know that the enemy is having a field day with so many families at church!! I need to get my heart right with the Lord, and just be still in His presence.
I have been in a season of attack – training my mind to shut off those attacks is the hardest part. However, I am learning! I know my peace is through him. Blind trust for each day! The self-discipline to do that is so necessary! It is sometimes like a battle within a battle!
I pray that tomorrow, we both find peace through our Father – that we both remain strong and courageous!
Very encouraging post, Beth. The enemy loves to mess with us. But if we're 'on guard' he can't have his way.
When we're in a new or strange territory – only God knows the way – so I'm going with Him – His way following close behind – not stepping in front anymore – as was my past pattern!
He will not forsake us or leave us stranded. He's right there waiting for us to fully trust Him every step of the way.
Choosing JOY,
Stephanie
Yes…what a comfort it is to know that God is ever near!
Thanks for this post Beth. Yes, I definitely need to remember this always! My marriage is under attack, severe attack from the enemy and I am holding fast and waiting on Him.
God bless you dear!

Jer 29:11 always ministers to me. Thank you Beth for this wonderful post that touched me. I certainly needed to read and be encouraged. Blessings.
I AM NOT ALONE
