Good Morning! This is the day God has made; Let us rejoice in it (Psalm 118:24). God's grace and mercy is available to you today, tomorrow and forever! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Good Morning! Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1 This is the day God has made; Let us rejoice in it (Psalm 118:24)! Dear Lord, some days it is hard to feel your hope in our lives, some days it is hard to wake up and do another day. Thank you God for your mercies and promises that strengthen us to live another day. We pray for your strength to be within us and The Holy Spirit to comfort us and guide us in Your Truth. Thank you Lord for our daily bread and not leading us into temptation but delivering us from the evil one. Thank you for your forgiveness over our sins for we forgive those who debt against us. Today we thank you for your protection as we put on the armour of God: The Helmet of Salvation, Breastplate of Righteousness, Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith in Jesus Christ, the Belt of Truth and Shoes of Readiness/peace. Let your kingdom come, Let your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Yours is the Kingdom, yours is the power and yours is the glory forever and ever in Jesus' name, amen. 01 Invite God into Your Day Start your day by having a conversation with God; Let all your requests and worries out to God (Philippians 4:6, Psalm 5:3). Remember, God wants you to have a sound mind and live in peace, not fear (Jeremiah 29:11, 2 Timothy 1:7, Lamentations 3:33), so trust that he will be holding your hand through everything today (Psalm 139:7-12). 02 Meditate on God's Word (In a way you enjoy!) Spending time with God and His Word will help you trust Him and His voice so He can guide you to green pastures and quiet waters (Psalm 23:1–6). If you are a visual learner, draw or paint verses/bible stories. If you are an audio learner, you can meditate to or listen to an audio bible. 03 Journal Be thankful and express your true feelings to God. God is love and love is patient (1 John 4:16, 1 Corinthians 13:4–8); Be patient with yourself each day, and give each day to Christ. Note down ways God has blessed you and remember to make your thoughts obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). 04 Be Active (When Led by the Holy Spirit) Don't isolate yourself and invalidate your feelings. God says you are a light on a hill. Be the light on the hill today (Matthew 5:14-16). Walk in love as Jesus commands (Ephesians 5:2) and seek first the kingdom of God, the rest will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). 05 Ask "How will I serve God today?" Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). Therefore, we must work as we are serving God and his people, not just for human praise (1 Peter 4:10-11). May God guide your day in his goodness, mercy and love in Jesus' name Amen. " I Can Do ALL Things Through Christ Who Strengthens me" God does not expect you to wake up every morning in your own strength. The Holy Spirit will guide you, comfort you and help you with all you need to do today. Surrender & Pray, God will do the rest. It was God who made the way for the Israelites in the Red Sea not Moses by his own power, it is God who saves and gives strength not our own arm or sword (Isaiah 25:4, Isaiah 40:29). Jesus will sustain you. When you wake up in the morning, don't discern what you can or can't do today based on how strong you feel. God will give you the strength in what God called you to do today. Tomorrow has enough problems of its own (Matthew 6:34). Have you ever felt like.. "I'm trying to get up in the morning" "Trying to Love" "Trying to Pray More" "Trying to read the bible" "Trying to be a nice person" God says, "I see you trying will you trust Me?" "Will you trust God enough to help you get up again when you feel like you can't get up? Salvation in Jesus Christ is not a one time event where our lives drastically change when we find out about Jesus. It is a sanctification process and a cleansing of our soul (1 Corinthians 6:11-11). We may think that God's grace is only for people who don't know God yet and once we do, everything gets better and we just have to everything right but that is not true. God's Grace is in our daily slip-ups, the ongoing struggles, the things that keep us up at night (2 corinthians 12:9). Its easy to think God is angry with us when we make mistakes or can't have faith but the truth is God's love is patient and long-suffering towards us. God has more patience and tolerance with us than any flesh will. God is not limited to our human understanding or our emotions. He doesn’t just love us. God is love (1 John 4:8). You can't shock God enough to make Him give up on you; God knows your mistakes and your lack of faith; God has seen everything humans have done since the beginning of time, He has heard every thought, and He knows every secret. EVERYTIME you fall down, he will pick you up. You can’t push Him past the limits of His love. When a voice whispers, “You are disqualified” or “You’ve blown it one too many times” it is not the One who calls you beloved. What God asks of us isn’t perfection; it’s to keep showing up and trying again in His strength. When we dare to do so, God rejoices like a parent watching their child learn to walk. The stories that give Him the most glory aren’t the tidy ones; they are the ones that include two words: But God. I struggled with something for years, but God… I made mistakes that I regret, but God… I wanted to give up, but God… Give Him whatever is causing you shame, guilt, discouragement, or fear. He is strong enough to hold all of it and loving enough to hold you in it. God wants to use even your weaknesses and failures to show His strength and faithfulness. Does God feel far away from you some mornings? Sometimes nothing bad may happen, you might not be facing hardship at home or a deadline at school or conflict within relationships. You pray, but the room feels silent. You worship, but your heart feels numb. You stand in faith, but circumstances don’t change. It’s in these moments that we need to remember one of the most powerful revelations of God's character—Jehovah Shammah, “The Lord is There” (Ezekial 48:35). This name was declared when God brought restoration to Jerusalem, He sealed it with a promise: “From that day forward, the name of the city shall be, ‘The Lord is There.’” He is not just "the God who was." He is "the God who is." Not “was there,” not “will be there," But He is there, right now. In your pain, your silence, your uncertainty, He is present. Jesus didn't just say, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5). He made a covenant. His presence is not based on how you feel; It is based on who He is. Let this be the declaration over your life today: “Jehovah Shammah—The Lord is here with me.”

YOU have Victory in Jesus! In this world we will have tribulation (James 1:2); But be of good cheer because Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). Jesus Christ lives in you and He that is in you is greater than the one of this world (1 John 4:4). So, you can overcome anything and do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13, Galatians 2:20). YOU have Victory in Jesus! In this world we will have tribulation (James 1:2); But be of good cheer because Jesus has overcome the world (John 16: 33, 16-17). The one who overcame this world is greater than he who is in this world (1 John 4:4). Christ lives in you so you can overcome anything and do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13, (Galatians 2:20). You and I are not perfect, God understands (Romans 3:23). Therefore; Jesus, being the form of God, came in the likeliness of man to give us life and hope (John 1:1-14, John 14:6, John 14:20, Philippians 2:5-9). Jesus ONLY said and did what was from our Heavenly Father (John 12:49-50, John 8:28, John 8:38, John 10:36-38, Hebrews 10:7). Jesus is the way to the Father, He is The Word of God (Revelation 19:13, John 1:1-3, John 14:6). Jesus bore the punishment of all our sins voluntarily (John 10:18). We are not defined or stuck in what hurts us; because God helps us be sanctified into His image (2 Corinthians 3:18) Jesus promises to keep us from the evil one, He is the good shepherd that guides us to safety (2 Thessalonians 3:3, psalm 121:7-8,John 10:11). Jesus is our promise of a Hope and future: A Home where there is no more death nor sorrow nor crying (Revelation 21:4). Connect with God and pray for wisdom from His Holy Spirit to understand how Jesus came to heal the blind, sick and mute including you (Matthew 15:30). Through the Holy Spirit, we can understand the hope and love God gives us in Jesus, the amount of patience and forgiveness He has for us, and His unlimited mercies towards us (Lamentations 3:22-23). Through Jesus, we are given the Holy Spirit to help and guide us in everything ( John 16:7,13). The Good Shepherd 2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. Psalms 121:7-8 The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever. Matthew 28:20 And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. John 14:18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you Matthew 24:30 God did not leave us here alone, He has a plan for restoration for us. His name is Jesus and He is making a home for you: John 14:2-3 "In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." Ephesians 2:19-22 - 'Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.' Matthew 14:24-31 It can be hard to see God in the storm. The Disciples also struggled to see Jesus in the storm (Matthew 8:23-27, Matthew 14:25-27). Do not be discouraged, you are not alone, Jesus is there with you, He says it is okay, have faith in Him. God can rebuke any storm in your life and rescue you out of the water, no matter how deep it is. Did you know that nothing including water itself cannot surpass God's command? (Proverbs 8:29, Lamentations 3:37-38). Even the Disciples were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” The storm will pass and the chaos around you will cease . You have a future of peace and hope (Jeremiah 29:11); A future filled with God’s goodness and love and beauty forever (Psalm 27:4). It is a future filled with God himself at the throne to protect you (Psalm 47:8). Romans 5:15 For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many . And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ . Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners , so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. God's Comfort There is purpose for your troubles. James 1:1-3 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 'As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.' - Isaiah 66:13 We are not abandoned in the storm left to defend for ourselves (John 14:18). God does not bring grief or trouble willingly to us (Lamentations 3:33). Troubles are all part of God's Good plan (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28). Trials exercise endurance, not to break you but to strengthen you (James 1: 3). So let that endurance grow (James 1:4). Don’t look for an escape, but lean into God and learn through Him. God is always working for the good of His people (Romans 8:28), and according to Romans 8:29, this good purpose is to make us like Christ. Our trials are where our most important lessons are learned. We learn from our mistakes and difficult situations. Our Trails have a purpose, and are ALL part of our loving heavenly Father’s plan to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles , so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. It is UNTRUE that troubles only come to weak, disobedient people or to those who don’t have enough faith. Job was considered blameless and upright in the eyes of the LORD and so was Jesus. Always discern man's report with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we try to find an escape through our trials or attempt to run away from them. We may fill our lives with busyness and foundations not laid on Christ as a means to "help" our pain. These temporary solutions do not fix what needs healing, only God can. What is troubling you? List it down, lift your hands and surrender them to God. Car trouble, injuries, job loss or financial difficulties, rebellious children or marriage failure, Give God your feelings of rejection, insecurity, guilt, shame, depression, worry, rage, and envy. God knows your circumstances right now. He knows the various troubles you are experiencing and wants you to come to Him, rely on Him to get you through. When God walked this earth, He endured the same kinds of trials, temptations, and sufferings we suffer today. Through the valley of the shadow of death, God will be there with you and comfort you, so you will have no need to fear evil. (Psalm 23:4) “Why did this happen? Why me? Why now?” More fruitful questions: “What can I learn from this about God’s grace? About the love of His Son? About the comfort of the Holy Spirit? What important truth is God teaching me at this point in my journey?” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Troubles are an opportunity to grow & spend time with God

God has a purpose for you. You are God's Creation, not useless or worthless; For all things were created through and for Christ (Colossians 1:16) God has a purpose for you . When God speaks a Word over your life, nobody's actions or opinion towards you can stop or change it. God spoke Jeremiah 29:11 over your life before you were born. Even when you feel invisible, God sees you and knows exactly where you are at. You are a special paintbrush to God. Just like each paintbrush is purposely designed differently for their individual purposes, God intentionally created you for this world because you have a God-given purpose here that nobody can do exactly like how God will use you. God's Creation is not useless or worthless; For all things were created through and for Christ (Colossians 1:16). *Your situation might feel horrible towards you but God is good and just; He has GOOD plans for you and works ALL things out for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28, Psalm 136). 1/3 Judges 3:15 Again the Israelites cried out to the LORD, and He gave them a deliverer—Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Benjamite - Tribe of Benjamin - Definition of Benjamin: "Son of the right hand" in Hebrew. Loneliness The Story of Ehud The Left-Handed Benjamite: The children of Israel served Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years under oppression because they did evil in the sight of the Lord (Judges 3:14). The Israelites cried out to God and God showed mercy by raising up, a left-handed Benjamite named Ehud to deliver them (Judges 3:15). MAN MAY NOT SEE YOU, BUT GOD DOES. *Have you felt like a left-handed person in a right-handed group? Ehud felt overlooked, left out and less than too yet God chose him. God can and will use you too. *Do you feel like you don't fit in? You don't have what it takes like other people? God chose Ehud over 26,000 Benjamite soldiers and 700 left-handed men (Judges 20:15-16). Ehud was also chosen out of 400,000 men of war in israel (Judges 20:17). God created you for a specific purpose. It does not matter if you are "not created like the rest of them" as deceiving thoughts tell us. Ehud was wonderfully and fearfully created , unique to his environment/tribe and was used apart of God's big plan to deliver Israel. Ehud is an example for many of us who feel overlooked, to see that God has good plans for everyone including you (Jeremiah 29:11).

Self-care is not a means to "increase" your beauty because you are already wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalm 139:14)! It is taking care of Your Body: The SACRED Temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 3:16-17) GODLY WORLDLY SELF-CARE Self-care should not be used as a means to "increase" your beauty because you are already wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalm 139:14)! Self-care is taking care of Your Body: The SACRED Temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:9, 3:16-17, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). In the princess movie "Cinderella", the Fairy Godmother makes cinderella “beautiful” by putting her in a pretty dress , doing her makeup and her hair. The Truth is: Jesus came down from heaven to tell us that we are already wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalm 139:14). We don't need make-up, creams or perfumes to "look/smell better." The power of the Holy Spirit and Jesus works beyond physical products and substances. Jesus healed and worked miracles without medicine! Jesus Himself is our cure, our healer, and our doctor. Let your supplications be known to Him. Remember, any statement that does not come from God's Truth about you is a lie. Do not listen to lies about your identity e.g. you are ugly, or not good enough; Trust God's never-changing, absolute TRUTH about you. Reflection: Do you believe that it is possible for God to change you the way that He changed Moses? Pray to God and invite Him to show you what you mean to Him. You are beautiful Romans 3:23-24 | Psalm 23:3 | Psalm 49:8-9 We ALL Fall Short of The Glory of God But your soul is costly & redeemed by Jesus God is love (1 John 4:8). He loves you wherever you are in your journey. Nothing you do will make him love you less or more, we are not saved by our works but God's grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). God doesn't expect you to be perfect and holy, that is why He sent us Jesus. Jesus died for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). Jesus helps us become worthy to come to God (II Thessalonians 1:4-6, II Thessalonians 1:11-12). Through His sacrifice, the Lord Jesus shows the high value and worth we are to him. Your life is worth Jesus who is loved dearly to God (John 15:9). So, despite your past, your sins, your pains and your feelings of worthlessness, God invites your to draw near and in return He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Your soul is costly redeemed by Jesus (Psalm 23:3, Psalm 49:8-9). In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” He invites us to come to Him regardless of the state we're in. Our relationship with the Lord is incomparable to any relationship on earth. There is absolutely no expectation of perfection. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Apostle Paul affirms how the Lord told him, ”My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." We will never be able to achieve perfection; yet in our sinful state, God still says “come to Me.” We don’t have to put on our best or cover up parts of our life we aren’t satisfied with. God is for you. "I Am Not Good Enough" - Moses (Exodus 4) God chose Moses to free His people, the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Moses was filled with fears that he would be unsuccessful/incapable to complete the task. We learn from God's interaction with him that God will equip us with the strength and resources to do all that He has purposed us to do e.g. God gave Moses a staff to prove He spoke with God if the Israelites did not believe Moses (Exodus 4:1-5). • “Moses said to God, ‘Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?’” (Exodus 3:11) • “Then Moses said, ‘What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you’” (Exodus 4:1). Moses says to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” (Exodus 4:10) God reminded Moses of His control over everything: “Who gave human beings their mouths? ... Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say” (Exodus 4:11-12). Focus on God's power instead of your shortcomings. Your competence comes from God: "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:5-6). God's grace is sufficient in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). "If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen" (I Peter 4:11). Trust God, Not Self: God didn’t spend time trying to boost Moses’ self-confidence. Rather, God reminded Moses that he should put his confidence in Him. God wants us to put all of our trust in Him. After all, God is the only one who is powerful enough to overcome the Pharaoh in our lives. As Moses grew in his trust in the Lord, God used him to accomplish a great deliverance. Moses is now known as one of the greatest leaders in biblical history not because he was such a brave guy but because of his faith in God’s great power of redemption. What God did for Moses, He can do for you. You can rest in the knowledge that if God is calling you to do something, His grace will be effective in your life too! You are not "an accident" or "a mistake." God created you with intention and purpose. INSECURE FEELING PSALM 139:11-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 1 CORINTHIANS 12:17-19 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. Genesis 1:27 You are made in God's Image and likeness! We are made for Gods glory 'Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”'- Isaiah 43:7 Your qualities reflect God's character to bring Glory and praise to Him (Isaiah 43:21, Isaiah 43:21). Take a moment to consider how God uniquely designed you. What qualities, gifts, talents, or experiences do you have that reflect God? I Corinthians 15:39 'All flesh is not the same flesh , but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.' '“Remember these, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me!' - Isaiah 44:21 What does fearfully and wonderfully mean? Genesis 1:2-4: Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. The God who comprehensively designed our world in the beginning of time created you in your mother's womb (Revelation 4:11, Psalms 146:5-10). "I was woven together in the depths of the earth" (Psalm 139:14-15) God spoke creation into the world (Genesis 1), but for you, God did not just speak you into existence, He sculpted you. God declares everything He created is good, this includes you! (Genesis 1:31). Remember, you are a light (Matthew 5:14). No man can define you because only God truely knows you before you were even born (Jeremiah 1:5). When you take time to explore the details of our world today such as the ecosystems, nature and animals; we can see how every bit of it is beautiful and works together wonderfully. Take note of the different shapes, sizes and textures you see in your favourite animals. No animal, even from the same species is created the same. You are God's masterpiece and gift to Jesus: Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." John 17:6-10 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Isaiah 46:3-4 Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel, you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Ask Yourself... * How has culture/expectations shaped how you view yourself? * What does God's Truth say about these strongholds built on lies? * How can you fully embrace your body as a vessel for the Holy Spirit rather than a project to be improved? When the Enemy Attacks Who You Are: 1. Come to God's Word (The Sword of the Spirit): What hurtful words have been spoken over you? Bring these statements before the Word of God. Reflect and ask yourself: Is there anywhere in God’s Word where it is written that this statement is true about me? Ask the Lord to reveal who you are to Him: You are loved in Christ Jesus (John 17:26). Therefore make every thought and every word obedient to Christ with full submission to God's Truth. 2. Pray in Jesus' Name: Through Jesus, we attain righteousness in God (Breastplate of righteousness). “In the strong name of Jesus, whose I belong, who lives in me, and who is helping me become like Him, I break the curse of these words and its impact on me. I surrender them at your cross and choose to forgive as you have forgiven me in Jesus' name, amen." 3. Focus on the Grace of God in Jesus: God suffered much for us in the flesh of Jesus. He took on the punishment for all of our sins. Whatever has been used against you; will be used for your good (Genesis 50:20). Put up your shield of faith in Jesus' love for you and keep your mind on the salvation of Christ (Helmet of Salvation). Choose to come to Jesus and ask Him to help you walk in peace (Shoes of peace). Bedtime Routine It can be hard to sleep/rest. Try use this time as an opportunity to talk with God. Psalms 4:8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety. Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Morning Routine Invite God to talk to you in the morning. His voice bring will bring you peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). God is your Heavenly Father who loves you. Our God of Peace invites us into His peace (John 14:27) Bible Devotionals, God's Word + Worship music can uplift your mornings with God. ONLY GOD YOUR CREATOR DEFINES YOU YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY: Who your parents were & say you are People's opinion about you Relationships where you were not your best self Mistakes you have made in the past Your trauma, fears & anxieties GOD SAYS.. You are Loved (Romans 8:38-39, John 3:16-17) You are chosen, God's special possession (1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 1:11) You are Worthy to be Alive ( Psalm 139:16, Psalm 139:13) Wonderfully and Fearfully made (Psalm 139:14) You are more than a conqueror in Christ (Romans 8:37) You are the Holy Spirit's Temple (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Our strength comes from THE LORD. When you feel weak or incapable, God encourages you to rely on His Spirit. Testimonies in the Bible give us insight into God's ability to deliver and save. Joshua 1:9 Be Strong and Courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. God's Strength "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty " The God who rescued Daniel from the lions den (Daniel 6:22), Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the furnace (Daniel 3:8-25) , Moses and the Israelites (Exodus 14:30-31) will save you too. Romans 8:31-34 God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Prayer inspired by Psalms 25 'Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles!' "This situation may be bigger than me but God is BIGGER" Sovereign (Adjective) : possessing supreme or ultimate power. We have a sovereign God , Maker of the Heavens and Earth, (Acts 4;24). He has power above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all (Ephesians 1:21-23): God defeated multiple giants through His people such as Moses with the Israelites, and David with his men. "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty" (1 Samuel 17:45). Goliath was taken down by the power of God resting on young David; who was appointed kingship by God. These testimonies exemplify how God can overcome all the things we view as giants in our lives. David did not defeat Goliath because he was strong. God's power empowered him to defend the people of God who were being threatened. Your "Goliath" could be an upcoming meeting, or school project. Just like King David, God will use you for His Glory. It doesn't matter how big the problem is, God is bigger than them ALL so let your requests be known and Let God protect you in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:5-9). When nobody understands you, remember God does. God fashioned our hearts, He knows us all individually (Psalms 33:15). God knows your struggles, needs, fears and pain before you can express it to Him (Matthew 6:8). He knows all of your heart and mind even when you don't (Jeremiah 17:10, Romans 8:27-29).God knows what you can handle and what you can't (1 Corinthians 10:13), and despite your weaknesses, He loves you perfectly in return to give Jesus Christ to save you (John 3:16). The Holy Spirit searches all things and knows the thoughts of all men and God (I Corinthians 2:10-16, Colossians 3:11). God wants us to come to Him for understanding, because only He knows your whole life. God gives understanding and wisdom generously (James 1:5). Keep asking him for understanding, He won't be mad at you for asking. The source of our strength comes from God (Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 18:39). Our help comes from Jehovah Jireh, our provider (Psalm 121:1-2). We all fall short of the Glory of God, it is God who works in us to accomplish great things (Romans 3:23, Philippians 2:13). God wants us to surrender to Him and believe. Surrender the need to fight every battle your way and let the God of peace take control. The way we connect to our Heavenly Father is through Jesus (John 14:6). Jesus is the solid foundation we can fall upon that cannot be shaken (2 Timothy 2:19); that doesn't mean we won't get overwhelmed or never make mistakes, it means we FALL upon God and He will uphold us with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). God is our refuge, our safety tower (Psalm 61:3). Do you believe that it is possible for God to deliver you the same way that He delivered Moses and the Israelites? How can you pray for God's strength in areas of your life where you need it most right now? How does God's strength differ from human strength? What are the unique characteristics of God's strength that you appreciate? Hebrews 11:32-34 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong , became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Judges 14:6 The Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done. Psalm 77:14-15 Our strength comes from the arm of the Lord of Redemption: You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples. You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah Our security and strength comes from trusting in God's power and grace, not in human or animal strength: Psalms 33:16-17 No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety ; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. Psalm 147: 10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, 31 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD. 1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. 1 Corinthians 4:9-10 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! Psalm 144:1-2 Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle— My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me. Psalm 135:10-11 He defeated many nations And slew mighty kings— Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan Psalm 132:8 Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Psalm 35:10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like You, Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?” God Saves King David Psalm 144:10-11 'For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favoured them.' Psalms 44:3 'Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.' Psalms 60:12 1 'Your God has commanded your strength; Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.' Psalms 68:28 2 'O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!' Psalms 68:35 3 'I will go in the strength of the Lord God ; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.' Psalms 71:16 4 Psalms 74:13-17 You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters. You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up mighty rivers. The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun. You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.

God does not look at our outward appearance but our heart (1 Samuel 16:7). When you feel too weak to put on makeup or a smile on your face, when you can't find the strength to go outside or do another day, you can surrender to God's love and grace for you in Jesus Christ. El Roi Sees You. & you don't have to be perfect for Him to love you. In your weakest moments; when you are sick, a mess, all the times when you are broken, God is willing to help you. God knows we are but mere flesh, He is compassionate and forgives us of our iniquity (Psalms 78:38-39, 1 John 1:9). God knows our sinful likeliness yet He sees through all of it and sees His daughter/son. God does not look at our outward appearance but our heart (1 Samuel 16:7). When you feel too weak to put on makeup or a smile on your face, when you can't find the strength to go outside or do another day, you can surrender to God's love and grace. You do not need your parents, your spouse or friends to validate you, Only El Roi who will understand you and never treat you with ill intent. God is willing to meet you where you are, showing grace to you through all your weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9). Hebrews 4:13-16 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. I Peter 4:2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. "Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." Isaiah 64:8 NIV Job 12:7-9 (NIV): "But ask the animals, and they will teach you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Observe the beauty of puppies and all the animals God created, everything God created is good (Genesis 1:31, 1 Timothy 4:4). They never look in mirrors yet they are so beautiful. They do not need makeup, and the same goes for us. You don't have to put on makeup for God to love you. God actually encourages us not to walk in the lusts of our flesh and self indulgence but walk in the spirit and will of God (1 Peter 4:2, Romans 8:4) He respects you and loves you without having to dress-up a certain way, God wants us to dress with humility (I Peter 5:5). God beautifies the humble with salvation (Psalm 149:4). He loves you because that is who He is: Love (1 John 4:8). We may think makeup protects us from bullies but the truth is that God protect us, not makeup. The Lord says, "Every tongue that rise up against you, you shall condemn." (Isaiah 54:17) You are beautiful without having to show your sacred body parts. The greatest command for us is to walk in love, meaning respecting our husbands, brothers and sisters with our body, and respect the God who created it. Our God commands us to be modest and let our beauty not come from outward but inward (1 Timothy 2:9-10, Proverbs 31:30, 1 Peter 3:3-6, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Romans 12:2). I Peter 3:3-6 'Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.' Our Beauty comes from God & The Holy Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control is beautiful (Galatians 5:22-23), not our corruptible, sinful flesh (1 Corinthians 15:42-54). One day, this flesh will perish so we should focus on cleaning our spirit not self indulging and satisfying flesh (Galatians 5:16). Have you been called ugly? Out the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, meaning that a person's words reveal what is in their heart rather than anything about you (Luke 6:45, Matthew 12:34). Do not define yourself on the wisdom of man but on the truth of God (Proverbs 3:5-6, 1 Corinthians 2:5). The power of God lives inside you and it threatens the evil one who is the ugly one because it is separated from God (Galatians 2:20, James 3:15-17). 1 Peter 4:4-5 'In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.' When people call you ugly, you can find comfort in the truth that all will have to give account to God (Romans 14:12, 2 Corinthians 5:10) Who is man to define your beauty except our God who created you and sees every part of you? Matthew 6:25-34 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. When you eat, remember life is more than your body. Make your thoughts obedient to Christ (II Corinthians 10:5-7) and don't focus on your outward appearance (such as your weight) which perishes; But receive everything you eat in thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:4). Set your mind on the spirit not flesh (Romans 8:5-9). Our "last words" on earth won't be "Why did I eat that chocolate cake?" Our corruptible flesh will perish: ( II Corinthians 4:16-18) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Our Final Victory: (1 Corinthians 15:50-58) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Life can feel overwhelming. God offers you a safe place—a hiding place—where your soul can rest (Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 32:7). You can find refuge in Him (Psalm 46:1). In God's presence there is... Peace Psalm 29:11 Judges 6:23-24 Isaiah 26:3 Protection Psalm 91:1-16 Psalm 121:5-8 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Deliverance Psalm 34:17-18 Exodus 20:2 Psalm 81:10 Grace Hebrews 4:16 2 Corinthians 12:9 Lamentations 3:22-23 God is your hiding place. You are safe & secure in His Presence PSALM 32:7 "You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Life can feel overwhelming. Fear, stress, and the weight of the unknown can feel like an inescapable storm. In the middle of all of it, God offers you a safe place—a hiding place—where your soul can rest (Matthew 11:28-30). God promises that you can find refuge in Him (Psalm 46:1). You don’t need to carry all of the weight that carries you down. God is your shelter, your shield, and your strength. Let Him be your hiding place today. Find a quiet space and invite God's presence to dwell with you. God's Holy Spirit in which He promises through Jesus Christ is with you, ready to help you (John 16:7-13). When anxiety rises, breathe deep and say, “God, you are my hiding place.” Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. JOHN 16:7-13 If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) Avoid reacting on your triggers & emotions; Act with love instead. MY EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A trigger is something that causes a person to recall past traumatic experiences. It could be a sound, sight, smell, or physical sensation.

God's faithful promises always stand no matter what our situation looks like. We can trust in a God who is changeless, He will never betray you (Hebrews 13:8, Deuteronomy 7:9, Malachi 3:6). Trust God "Trust in Him at all times you people; pour your hearts to him, for God is our refuge" - Psalm 62:8 Jesus says the first and greatest command is to "love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ (Matthew 22:37-39) & Love always trusts (1 Corinthians 13:7). We can trust in God because God provides for us in every single way before we even know what we need (Matthew 6:8, Philippians 4:19, James 1:17). Matthew 6:26, Psalm 145:16 & Psalm 147:9 shows us that God takes care of every single bird that neither sows or reaps, every animal and living thing on the earth; After-all He created them. Jesus says "Of how much more value are you?" (Luke 12:24) God loved us before we had the knowledge of love or felt the blessing to love anything or anyone. God took us out of our mother's womb, screaming and crying, nothing to offer Him; Yet He graciously clothes us and guides us everyday in His perfect love and grace (Psalm 71:6, Psalm 22:9, Psalm 32:8). God records every tear in His bottle; When we cry to Him our enemies turn back, therefore, of whom shall we be afraid? (Psalms 56:8-11, I Peter 3:13). When we feel fear and uncertainty over our future, we can trust our loving, good, faithful God (Psalm 100:5, Psalm 34:8) who promises us Jeremiah 29:11. Our fears are based on our limited understanding of life whereas God has understanding over everything from the beginning of time, God is called The Ancient of Days (Isaiah 46:10). How we view the environment is not the truth, God's Word is the Truth (John 17:17). Trusting in God does not mean invalidating your feelings or pretending to be okay, it means pouring your heart to Him and trusting Him to keep you safe because Love always protects (Psalm 62:8, Psalm 121:7-8, 1 Corinthians 13:7). Our parents may not treat us like a parent should because we all fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We need to keep in mind that we as humans do not represent God. God is seperate and Holy (Isaiah 6:3, Leviticus 11:44-45, I Peter 1:15, Revelation 15:4). God is our good father who has compassion and takes care of His children (Psalm 103:13). You can be at ease because God is true and righteous, He has written days ordained for you (Revelation 16:7, Psalm 139:16). Our future is secure in God's Righteous hands. Trust His presence in your life and enter God's rest. Let go of the need to control every day or everything, surrender to God and focus on one day for tomorrow has its own worries (Matthew 6:34). Trusting God can be hard especially when our circumstances don't look good, or when our trust has been broken by someone we thought we could trust. We may wonder why a Good God allows something so terrible to happen to us, or why God didn't stop something from happening? God's timing, protection and help does not always look like what we think. What can we trust? God is changeless, He will never betray you (Hebrews 13:8, Deuteronomy 7:9, Malachi 3:6) Reflect on how God has taken care of you up to this present moment of your life. I Corinthians 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Psalm 71:6 By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb. My praise shall be continually of You. Revelation 16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. This verse reminds us that even in our deepest struggles, God is watching and ready to offer His support. The Eyes of The Lord are watching over you. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.” — 2 Chronicles 16:9 Biblical Examples of God's Faithful Support: "The God Who Sees Me" (Genesis 16:13) Sarah's maidservant, Hagar fled from mistreatment and false accusations into the desert alone (Genesis 16:5-8.). God saw her in her distress and comforted her. She declared, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” God didn’t overlook her pain—His eyes were on her pain, and He cared for her, providing her with hope and direction. Just like Hagar, we can trust that God sees us even in our most isolated moments. Trust God's Vision: Like Hagar, when you feel abandoned or invisible, remember that God sees you. He knows your struggles and will come to your aid when you cry out to Him. Trusting God's Provision (Genesis 22:8): Abraham, with a heavy heart, was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. Despite his feelings, he trusted God saying, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering" (Genesis 22:7-8) Abraham believed that God, who saw his heartache, would provide a way out. And so, God provided a ram in place of Isaac (Genesis 22:13 ). When we face heartbreaking moments, we can trust that God sees our pain and will provide in ways we might not expect. Believe in God’s Provision Like Abraham, in your darkest moments when things don't make sense, trust that God sees the bigger picture. He will provide what you need, often in ways you never imagined. "Our God Will Save Us" (Daniel 3:15-18) The king threatened Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego saying if they did not worship their gods, they shall be cast immediately into the burning fiery furnace (Daniel 3:15) Daniel's friends declared, “Our God will save us... but even if not, we will not serve your gods.” (Daniel 3:17-18) They were confident that God was watching over them, and despite the outcome, they trusted in His perfect will. Hold on to Faith: Just like Daniel's friends we can trust that God has the power to deliver you from your trials and give you the strength to endure them. God’s eyes are searching for hearts fully committed to Him. He sees your pain, your faith, and your struggles, and He is ready to support you no matter what stage you are in life. Whether through provision, protection, or deliverance, you can rest assured that God has got your back! God created everybody for a great purpose in God's plan even Pharaoh to show God's Glory to Egypt (Romans 9:17). God has a unique plan for you, filled with promise and potential. You are a child of the Most High God, and you are destined for greatness. David was depressed. Hannah was bitter in her soul. Moses had anxiety. Peter had anger issues. Ruth thought she had no future. Paul persecuted the church/Jesus. BUT God turned their trials into victories. He transformed their messes into a message. Their struggles are a testimony of overcoming with God for many today. Y ou might be going through a trial right now, but stay strong in faith because God isn’t finished writing your testimony. YOU HAVE A FUTURE IN GOD! God has plans to prosper you not harm you (Jeremiah 29:11), & He is working everything out for your good (Romans 8:28)! So don't be afraid of what is ahead. Instead, face the future by focusing on today and your faith in Jesus Christ. Trust that God is with you and He will guide you through every step. God will always do whats best for you no matter what it feels like. The enemy's ultimate goal is to undermine your trust in God. He questions Our Father's motives... "If God really loved me, He wouldn't allow this to happen..." The enemy makes us associate the pain of spiritual discipline or Gods will with a lack of his care for us. However, God's love for you in Jesus Christ is unshakeable, a sacrificial everlasting love (Romans 8:35-39). God rebukes those he loves (Hebrews 12:6, Proverbs 3:11-12) Discipline from God means you are a member of God's family. God loves you so much that He doesn't let us stay the same but sanctifies into the likeness of his son and help you mature in faith (Romans 8:29). Remember the Lord is omnipresent. He sees the end and the beginning and what fruit comes from the challenges you face. You may not understand why he allows certain hardships but difficulties are evidence God is working on your life and best is yet to come. Don't lose heart! Lamentations 3:22-26 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:31-33 For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies. For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men. God is ABLE! God is the only one who can give you peace in your troubled soul, like the Israelites and the red sea God will provide a way! understanding God's plan in the pain... Sculpted in the Suffering: In your current situation, it can be hard to comprehend God's purpose. The Holy Bible records testimonies that remind us that God works through all suffering, proving that our trials have meaning and are integral steps to His Divine Plan. Joseph's testimony shows us the Power Of God's Will in suffering. Betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and later wrongfully imprisoned, Joseph’s life was filled with pain. Yet, through these adversities, God was preparing him for a higher calling. When Joseph became a leader in Egypt, he was able to save his family from famine, and declared, "But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive" (Genesis 50:20). Joseph’s Story Reminds Us That GOD Can Transform Our Darkest Moments Into Blessings. The Purpose Of Pain: A Refining Process "My Brethren, Count It All Joy When Ye Fall Into Divers Temptations; Knowing This, That The Trying Of Your Faith Worketh Patience" (James 1:2-3). Our Trials are an opportunity for spiritual growth. Just as gold is refined by fire, we are refined through life’s challenges. Pain and hardship serve to strengthen our faith, teaching us patience, resilience, and deeper dependence on GOD. Job suffered unimaginable loss And suffering; Losing his family, belongings, and health, Job questioned, wrestled, And sought answers, but he never turned away from GOD. In the end, GOD restored Job double of what he lost And Blessed Him Even More Than Before (Job 42:10). Job's testimony demonstrates that suffering, though painful, can be a stepping stone toward a deeper relationship with GOD and more understanding of HIS character. Christ Jesus: The Ultimate Example Of Suffering For A Greater Purpose Jesus endured betrayal, ridicule, and ultimately death on the cross for the redemption of humanity including you. "Who For The Joy That Was Set Before HIM Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of GOD" (Hebrews 12:2). Jesus embraced HIS suffering, knowing it would fulfil GOD’S plan of salvation. Through Jesus' Wounds, we are healed. "HE Was Wounded For OUR Transgressions, HE Was Bruised For OUR Iniquities: The Chastisement Of OUR Peace Was Upon HIM ;And With HIS Stripes WE Are Healed" (Isaiah 53:5). Christ’s Suffering Was Not Meaningless; It Was The Very Means Through Which Humanity Was Reconciled To GOD (2 Corinthians 5:18). Hope Beyond Our Trials "For I Reckon That The Sufferings Of This Present Time Are Not Worthy To Be Compared With The Glory Which Shall Be Revealed In Us" (Romans 8:18). Paul reminds us that earthly suffering is temporary, a small part of the eternal glory with Jesus. In our trials, we can look forward with hope, knowing that GOD has prepared something far greater for us. Paul endured shipwrecks, beatings, Imprisonment, And Countless Adversities For The Sake Of The Gospel (2 Corinthians 11:23-27). Yet, He Proclaimed, "I Can Do ALL Things Through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Paul’s life is a testament to the fact that no matter the extent of our sufferings, GOD’S Strength enables us to endure, persevere, and overcome. Trusting GOD’S WILL Requires Surrendering Our Limited Understanding And Believing That HE Sees The Bigger Picture. "For MY Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts, Neither Are Your Ways MY Ways, Saith The LORD" (Isaiah 55:8). When We Acknowledge That GOD’S Wisdom Surpasses Our Own, We Can Rest In HIS Sovereignty Even Amid Our Struggles. In Essence, While Suffering May Seem Unjust Or Purposeless, The Bible Assures Us That GOD’S Will Is At Work In Every Season Of Our Lives. Like Joseph, Job, And Paul, We May Not Always Understand Why We Face Trials, But We Can Trust That Each Moment Is Woven Into GOD’S Greater Purpose For Our Lives. In Every Moment Of Suffering, Remember: GOD’S Will Is Being Done, And HIS Plans For You Are Good, Steadfast, And Filled With Hope. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
