I Know


I know He is the beginning - I will not worry about the end
I know He is the creator - I will not fear the destroyer
I know He has forgiven me - I will forgive myself and others
I know He will protect me - I will not fear
I know He will supply all my needs - I will not fret
I know He is the right way - I will not go my own way
I know He is the light - I will reflect His light to others
I know He gives me understanding - I will trust His truths
I know I am saved in Jesus - I will rest in His finished work
I Know He has a plan for me - I walk in it for His Glory

The Battle between Stress and Peace


STRESS - don't take it out on others.
When tired and weary, may we find rest, strength and peace in our Lord.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

Jesus and Me
I woke up this morning,
happy as can be,
for I knew it would be,
another day with Jesus and me.

No matter what would happen,
or if troubles came my way,
with Jesus in my heart,
it would be another wonderful day.

Storm clouds may come,
sunshine may be lacked,
but how can I go wrong,
knowing Jesus has my back.

My worries are all His now
the way life should be,
day by day, two lives as one,
just Jesus and me.

Do You Feel Like Your World Is Caving In?


"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy and find grace
to help in time of need." - Hebrews 4:16


Whatever we face, Jesus Christ has already faced it.

Jesus knows what it is like:

To be hungry
To be tired
To be lonely
To be hurt
To be hated
To be beaten
To be persecuted
To be misunderstood
To be mistreated
To be mocked and laughed at
To be betrayed by a friend
To be tempted to sin
To feel forsaken
To have no spouse
To have lost a loved one
To have to pay taxes
To live under an oppressive government
To experience extreme pain


"In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comfort delights my soul." - Psalm 94:19


Don't be afraid to talk to Jesus about anything.
Not only does He understand,
but He knows how to help us,
so we can overcome and have His victory.

Remember, Jesus loves us enough to die for us
and He now lives to intercede for us.

Jesus not only understands what we face,
but He is able and willing to help us.

SAY THIS: Jesus understands what I am going through
and is leading me to His victory.
