Satan is the powerful enemy within. He tells us we are worthless beings who can not do anything right. He fills our heads with doubt and does everything in his power to convince us that we should rely on our own ability to work things out. He plays on our intellect to have us believe that we don’t always need God to work through the difficulties in life. He wants us to believe that we are not worthy of God’s Love and have to prove ourselves righteous before coming to God.

Satan… is a liar!

Come to God as you are. Do not pretend to be something that you are not. God will never reject His child. Speak to Him as a father. Allow Him to see you as you are. Make time to share yourself with God. Turn off all devices around the home, including the lights. Give all of yourself to Him and allow Him to reach down and touch you. Then listen as He speaks to you. You will then know that you are not alone. As you begin to walk in the path He lays out for you, you will see that, even during all the trials and tribulations of life, you are not alone:

Rom 5:3 – 5:5 ~
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Too many times we look at our troubles, bad choices in life and our mishaps which take our eyes off of Him. Keeping our eyes on Him and His purpose, we can get though the tribulations knowing that there is Hope for us still. God made the ultimate sacrifice for us by giving His Son to the world so that we may live. Let us not let this action be in vein by allowing the lies of Satan dominate us.

Job 37:14 ~
Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Secure yourself of His lasting Peace and stand in awe of our Lord. Triumph in Hope and let Him be your Refuge.

Psalm 46:10 ~
Be still, and know that I am God…

I can not express enough how much this all has meant to me in my life. As I reflect back, I regret hurting the ones that I love. But today, I can live in that regret and live myself condemned and not care about anyone or anything… Or, I can make something good come from out of it. “Hope” knowing that Hope will not disappoint. As I write, I write to myself as a reminder that I am never alone. It only seems that way when I turn my eyes from Him and listen to Satan try and convince me I am worthless. Forgive me Father… Release these chains and set me free… I am yours to do with as you please. Let me be a light of your Love and guide me where you need me to be.

Psalm 21:13 ~
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
