TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"For he has not ignored the suffering of the needy. He has not turned and walked away. He has listened to their cries for help." (Psalm 22:24, NLT).
TODAY'S WORD , when times get tough, don't be surprised if you feel a heaviness trying to overwhelm you. Don't be surprised if you hear negative thoughts telling you, "It's never going to work out. Things are never going to get better. It's over. It's done." When those thoughts come, remember, you have a choice-you don't have to believe those lies. you don't have to get on board with your emotions. In the Bible, David encountered many difficult situations. That spirit of heaviness tried to steal his destiny. He got depressed and discouraged, but do you know what he did? He started talking to himself. He said, "Why are you cast down, oh my soul? Put your hope in the Lord." He was saying, "David, snap out of it! Why are you discouraged? Why have you lost your joy? God is still on the throne, and He still has good things in store." When that heaviness tries to come on you, do what David did. As you put your trust in the Lord and praise Him, He'll give you His strength and empower you to overcome every obstacle you may face! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for the strength to overcome the difficult times. I choose to shake off the spirit of heaviness by praising and worshiping You. I bless You today and always. In Jesus' Name. Amen |
