Just Breathe

Don’t let your worries lead you to Satan instead of Jesus. When I find myself worrying about something, I am often tempted to entertain those thoughts. It is a battle I have to continually fight. Thankfully, God promises that He is there for us, because I know I can’t do this on my own. It can be overwhelming and the only way is to rely on Jesus. Stop, pray for Him to intervene on your behalf, pray for protection, pray the promises that He gives us in His Word. Speak those promises over you and others. Rebuke Satan, in Jesus Name. Even the archangel Gabriel spoke ”The Lord Rebuke You”, when battling Satan.

I know I would be completely lost without the saving grace of Our Lord Jesus. I still have to fight battles, but they aren’t on my own. So stop, breathe, and pray for help. Doing this throughout my day helps me go to Jesus instead of Satan.

So right now, if you can:  take some deep breaths, focus on God, and ask for guidance. Next step is very hard and something I struggle with: Listen. Don’t talk, just wait and listen for God’s still voice.

“and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?”

1 Kings 19:12 NKJV

Victories

We should celebrate victories, small or large. Give praise to God for all the many blessings, victories, and beauty we have around us. We get so wrapped up in worrying for the next error, that we just never stop worrying. You have a victory in one aspect, and then you run onto something else to worry about it. That is not what God wants for you or me! Yes, we will have to walk through some valleys, but don’t forget God is with you and is also with you when you climb out and enjoy the victory. Do you ever just stop and appreciate the joys around you? I know I have to do this a lot more. Look up at the night sky and just see behold the beauty of the stars. Take a deep breath in the basking of the morning sun glistening on the leaves. Listen to the birds singing without a care in the world. Enjoying the happy antics of a dog. Savor the smiles of your children or spouse. Just enjoy, smile, and enjoy the moment God has given you. Just stop, breathe, and thank God for the victories in life.

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

Matthew 11:28-29

God Intervenes

God doesn’t care how you prayer, He wants your honest words, feelings, and thoughts. Psalms in the Bible is a great book to go for guidance. You don’t have to understand the Bible, I certainly don’t understand some of it. You just have to believe it, believe that it is God’s Word for you, for all of us. He will speak to you, probably not in an actual voice that we hear, but in a still, small voice that prompts us. Not sure if it is God you’re hearing? Make sure what you’re hearing is in line with His Word. Pray before you act. If you think God is telling you to do something not in line with His Word, then it probably isn’t from God.

Thank you God for your many blessings. Please intervene on my behalf. In Jesus Name, I charge your angels around myself and my family and bind Satan and his workers. In Jesus name, my future is blessed, productive, prosperous, and

I thank you Lord that I am free of sickness and disease, healthy and blessed. Above all, may Your Will always be done, in Jesus name, amen

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Psalms 91
