I Thessalonians 5:22-24 We all need Grace. It's God's ability in us to do what we don't have the ability to do. Abstain is to restrain oneself from doing. I'm going let that sink in. Even when there's a strong desire to do it. If it comes against the Word of God, it's a Faith Fight that is fixed. But YOU have to show up and trust God.

We know that we have to show up to the battle although the battle is the Lord. How you show up will not be in your natural ability for the battle. It will be with a praise and worship. You will not win the battle with a swords and arrows but with musical instruments and with songs of praise and worship to our God

Psalm 68:25, 26 God need two kinds of women. 1. Those who will intercede with strong crying and weeping and who will teach their daughters to weep (Jeremiah 9:17-21) 2. Those who are the praisers, calling the daughters of Zion to take up musical instruments and make melodies of praise to our God. Praise with a tambourine and dance, let your mouth be filled with high praises unto Him.

Psalm 68:19 "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah" God is faithful!

Jeremiah 17:5 - 8 ....God is our assurance and we thank Him for Ephesians 4:11 and we are to still trust God and not put our mouth on God's people even if they are on a detour from the presence of God.

Adversity, it really doesn't matter. However, without Adversity, how would you show Faith or Strength? Adversity comes to prove your faith and increase your strength through trials. Faith is not built by prosperity, but rather by Adversity, when you MUST have God's help.

2 Chronicles 20:15 ...Be not afraid or dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God's. For the battle is not ours but the Lord means that we are walking not in our own strength, but in the strength provided by God. It also means we are using the weapons of spiritual warfare which also includes speaking truth, living righteously, sharing the gospel, being faithful, knowing God's word and praying every day.

Matthew 11:28-30 is a good reading and exercise to do every single day. Learning to live freely and lightly by taking a load off our mind. We need a mental and emotional break! Our minds need to rest from thinking about resolving problems and our emotions need to rest from being upset.

1 Cor 15:58 Stand firm, let nothing move you. Being tenacious is to keep a firm hold and not easily pulled apart. Let us stay persistent in HIM.

Psalm 37:7 commands us to rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. So don't entertain doubt and fear while you wait. Praise and worship while you rest and wait on the Lord.
