CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!
Anxiety sure does love to try to get the best of me when I’m making progress. Something in my spirit told me to go get my physical bible. I usually use my bible application on
my iPhone but tonight was different. There’s nothing like the touch & feel of the pages of the bible. Everything that we would ever have to experience and need in life was already written…
When my bible opened I ended up in the book of Psalms. I have Bishop T.D. Jakes “Women Thou Art Loosed” NKJV…
What I love the most about this bible are the Gospel Pearls at the bottom of each page. I glanced at the Gospel Pearl and it said: “Hear me today. You are not imprisoned you are EMPOWERED. Take control of your circumstances in Jesus’ name and ARISE. You’re a DAUGHTER of the KING and you can arise by His POWER without hesitation. Knowing THIS sets you FREE”…..
With my eyes closed I put my faith & trust in Gods word. I trusted that finally I would be able to hear a word from God & receive some type of confirmation that I can rest on tonight. With my eyes closed I believed that God would tell me that what I’m going through is gonna be alright. Don’t you just love his FAITHFULNESS!!! Whatever it is that you’re going through walk through it. God doesn’t make any mistakes and he will never leave us. Now get some rest Dreamers…
Amen & Dream Big!!

"When you are in trouble, go to the throne before you go to the phone. I do not mean to suggest that it is wrong to seek counsel. I am just suggesting that you pray and allow the Lord to lead and guide you through the Holy Spirit. Let Him choose the right counselor for you. Just because a person has been through what you are going through, or is a close personal friend, does not mean that individual is the right counselor for you. So I repeat, pray!"

“Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust…” (Psalm 40:4, NIV).
Is your trust in the Lord today? Trusting in the Lord is a decision we make just like we choose anything else in life. You chose what to wear today, you probably chose what you would have for breakfast, and you can choose to trust God today, too! And just like the decision to receive salvation, when you choose to trust God, there is a peace that settles on the inside of your heart. There are blessings in store for you when you trust Him.
No matter what you are facing in life today, you can have faith that God will come through for you. You can trust that His Word is always true. In Psalm 32, David calls God his “hiding place.” In other words, not only can you choose to trust God in the midst of your difficulty; you can actually hide in Him and find rest for your soul. When the circumstances of life seem to be overwhelming, choose to trust that God is ordering your steps. Find security in Him knowing that He’s making your crooked places straight and leading you into the everlasting life He has prepared for you!

…In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, NIV).
Every day, things come against us in life to try to steal our joy and rob us of our victory. In fact, throughout your whole life, the enemy has had one mission—to kill, steal and destroy your hope, vision and happiness. But I love what it says in today’s verse, “take heart.” In one translation it says, “Be of good cheer.” Now that may seem strange to say right after “in this world you will have trouble,” but when we truly understand that we are overcomers in Christ Jesus, we can be joyful no matter what the circumstances look like. We don’t have to allow our emotions to get rattled. We don’t have to let our nerves go haywire. We can find rest knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and deprived it of the power to harm us.
We have to remember; the things that happen in this life are temporary. We are in this world but not of it. We need to keep our focus on eternal things, things above. Sure, we will have trouble in this life, but we can stay encouraged because in eternity, we are overcomers through Christ Jesus!
