#Taunting thoughts

Don’t fear

Isaiah 43: 1 – 2 AMP “But now, says the LORD – the one who created you, Jacob, the one who formed you, Israel; Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you won’t be scorched and flame won’t burn you.”

I have come to realise that I have allowed taunting thoughts to overwhelm me. I would wake up in the morning worrying about what was going to happen today. Then I would carry this worry with me thought out the day. By the end of the day, these taunting thoughts would have diminished my self-esteem, paralyzing and demoralizing me. I would be crying all day and hate speech would come to mine.

I would feel tired and miserable not able to do much. Feelings of hopelessness will overwhelm me, I would feel terrible and it would be so paralyzing that I would not be able to work or do anything. I don’t want to eat anything and I am distracted.

I realise that I allowed the devil to sow a seed of fear and remind me of a sin, I have not confessed and it would plague me. Until I confess this sin, it would haunt me day and night. I also realised that I have forgotten my identity and who I am in Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank You, for today, I want to pray about these thoughts that taunt me constantly. You know that I have confessed my sins, I have spoken to the person and I have confessed it to You. Lord, still I feel these thoughts taunt me, day and night. My life feels like it is falling apart. I want to confess Your word Romans 10 verse 17 “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” I want to confess that You will never fail me and that I can stand on Your Word. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Please help me face this problem. Amen

Romans 10:17, Paul states, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward. God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
