You need it? God’s got it–in more ways than one.
The amazing and omnipresent thing about God is that He already knows your needs and has already prepared the answers and solutions–we just haven’t yet caught up with them!
God is not bound by time. He lives outside the confines of our temporal reality.
So He sees and lives in all time frames–history and future–simultaneously. That is almost impossible for us to grasp, as it’s the dimension we live in–and are bound by–but not God.
So when we are in a crises, or uncertain about our future, or not knowing or seeing the answers as to what is to come–God is already ahead of us. He’s already been there, prepared a way for us, worked out the details. But we’ve not yet caught up.
Rest assured, my darling, that God has it all under control. Ask for His peace in your situation, not fretting that He has forgotten you or doesn’t know the outcome–He’s gone before you and it’s already done.
Now He asks for us to TRUST Him and have PATIENCE and FAITH as we move through our 24 hours in a day, until we catch up to His solution.
>> Final Thought: What are your worried about, fretting that God is not there, doesn’t understand or can’t help you? Where do you need to have more faith to trust that He’s already gone before you–created your solution–and His word says “Do not fear” and “Trust me” over and over again, but you still haven’t let go….?

P.S. Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Dad’s out there, mine included, and even more so to our Heavenly Father.
Thank you, God, that you love us even more than our earthly father’s can, even in their best attempts. You are the one who never fails, showers unconditional love on us, and offers us the gift of eternal life. Thank you for your love that we still can hardly comprehend. Amen.
When life is hard, obstacles seems overwhelming, you can’t see past the current struggle or situation–take heart! God is greater and more powerful than we can imagine.
One of my newest favorite recording artists is Blanca, and her words ring in my ears of her song Greater Is He. (<– click the link to listen)
Greater is He living in me
Than he who is in the world
Whatever may come, His strength is enough
My heart is at peace, for greater is He…
And in His name, giants will fall
And in His name, oceans will part
And in His name, there’s nothing we won’t overcome
This is our God, this is our God
Such a beautiful message of hope, peace and assurance that no matter our circumstances, no matter our current struggle or obstacles, God is bigger than them all.
>>Final thought: Are you at peace amidst your concerns? Are you resting in His name? Or have you given in to the fear that God won’t help, can’t help and you’re alone to fight this battle? “For my yolk is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:30
Choose to take off the heavy burden and leave it at feet of Jesus. It takes faith and courage, but you can do it. Ask God to envelope you’re in His peace while you weather the storm knowing He is ultimately in control.

P.S. I wish you a beautiful Father’s Day tomorrow, and encourage you to view this day not only for honoring your earthly father, but appreciating, reflecting and praising God for being the ultimate example of a loving father. Perhaps take a few quiet minutes to read through the Psalms or Genesis 1 about the beauty, strength and power of our Almighty Father, who has adopted us into his kingdom by the blood of His son Jesus. The most perfect sacrifice given for us, His children. Amen.
So what are you going to do about it?
Have you ever heard the saying, “God helps those who help themselves?”
Let’s think about this for a second—then ask 1) is it true? And 2) is that statement supported in God’s word–His ultimate guidebook?
Does that mean that in order for me to deserve or earn God’s love and blessing on my life I need to DO something first? Perform? Act? Be dutiful? Be diligent?
While those things are good in some respect, it’s not a REQUIREMENT for God’s love or blessing. There’s nothing you NEED to do in order for God to love you more than He already does or to make you prosper. Jesus already paid the ultimate price so we could be holy and blameless in God’s sight because we’re covered by the spotless blood of the lamb!
Does that statement, on the other hand, mean that you can sit around and do nothing and expect your dreams and fullest potential to drop out of the sky or land on your doorstep?
Not so much.
Taking action on God’s plan and deepest desires He’s set in your heart is different from the mentality that He will help you “IF you help yourself.”
There is no prerequisite for God’s outpouring of blessing and favor in your life.
He loves you exactly as you are. As He created you to be. As He knit you together in your mother’s womb. But if you’d like to maximize your potential and grow into the best version of yourself that you can, that’s what will happen when you begin taking action on the dreams in your heart.
>>Final thought: Nothing you can do, have done or ever will do that can separate you from the love of God. Jesus paid the ultimate price for you with his life. Make sure you’ve invited Him to live in your heart. Now it’s your turn to maximize your potential and live out His fullest works in you and for the good of those around you. That is what you are called to. It’s time to get to work.
Your sister in Christ,
