"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”     

Joshua 1:9

 Life is full of surprises. Sometimes, it is even unpredictable, and can be overwhelming. Yet when your inner foundation is in Jesus Christ, the waves of the ocean of life will ebb and tide, but there is nothing to fear. He will carry you safely on His shoulders through the uncharted waters you face.

Getting Prayed Up

Certainly faith fluctuates, ebbs and flows for most of us. But like you, when I am "prayed up," steeped in prayer, striving to serve God well, with Jesus at my side, I am confident like at no other time. I can see the positive possibilities and envision beating all worldly odds. I can face the future with peace in my heart, and joy, with sublime confidence that all is well.

Beating All the Odds

By the grace of God, Jesus gives each of us the necessary strength to figuratively hop over the hurdles of 'what ifs' and hike mountains of fear, to reach the heights to proclaim the Lord's Good News for the glory of God. All the while feeling ever so blest. Walking in His Light, it is possible to envision healing in mind and body for yourself and others, and to pray for those in most need of His love and mercy--and that would be all of us!

Where Does Your Strength Come From?

When you believe that your strength comes from Jesus, and that He is with you each day through all that comes along, for all of eternity, your life is never the same again. You are well positioned for beating all the odds. When that happens, infirmity is but a passing annoyance, your perspective changes, depression lessens, and life's difficulties fade in comparison to God's never ending love!
