Be Bold, My Love

Lord, this has not been the best week of my life but I know that this too shall pass. I know that struggles are meant to make me strong and that Jesus and his disciples struggled so quite obviously, so will I. My hardships are not unique. I am not in this alone, nor am I the only one going through something. I will not deny my situation. My part in what I thought was a good thing. Lord, I don't know if I am a source of joy to others but I struggle with my relationship and faith. I will forever believe that my purpose and place is to serve God. My job is to bring new hope and new joy to the world. Spread the good news. I am going to be alright. The devil would like for me to believe that I am not going to make it. That this is too big for me and that nothing will change. But Jesus brings new hope and new joy. I know that I am going to make it. I am a survivor and a victor. I will survive and I am coming out of this better than before. My attitude is what will affect my situation. I am here to stay. I will see a victory in my life. God loves me and hears my prayers. God will see me through every obstacle. God cares. Luke 24:44-49  44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”  45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
