I'm not sure how I failed to post this on New Year's but it is appropriate that I post it today. Whether you've set goals or still pondering what you want to achieve it's important that you put God first. It doesn't matter how difficult the goal you've set or whether you've already failed in your attempts, know that God is able to put you on the right track.  Your goal is waiting on you!

The events of January 6, 2021 left me heartbroken and heartsick.  Sitting in prayer, God revealed something to me that I've come to realize more and more...

Christmas is a special time. It's the time we think about the one true gift we have all been given--the gift of life through the Son, Jesus Christ. 

We have learned that time is not always guaranteed. We have learned to value and cherish time with those we love. Most importantly we have learned to find joy in the little things. God is present always and when we choose to feel God's presence, we experience joy. 

Peace is wholeness … it’s about being complete. That completeness points to only one person, the personhood of Jesus Christ, himself. Our faith in Jesus Christ is peace, the ultimate peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding. No matter what you are going through, he is right there with you.

The year 2020 will go down in the history books as a year so many of us realized just how much we need Jesus in our lives. When God is the center of our lives, so are hope and joy. As we enter into the Advent season, let's remember how important hope is to us all.  

In this week's podcast, I'm going to share with you a story about my sister. I hope you will think of your own family and friends and remember to give God thanks for how He has blessed you this year--even through the most tumultuous year in modern history.

If you want to get through emotional upheaval and panic, you've got to trust the Lord. Please plan to join me for my webinar on Saturday, November 7 at 10:30am. Follow the link to register: https://www.mamiejohnsonministries.org/events/gods-rescue-for-panic

Even in the fear, even in the unknown, even in the panic, God through His Word provides the rescue. In this life, there is nothing we will experience or face that God cannot help us through. Jesus is the remedy that heals our mental anguish and disease. Only when we make a conscious choice to accept the remedy will we receive the cure.
