As we come to the end of this year, reflect on all God has done. Set goals for 2022!

Be grateful for all God has done and for what He will do. 

What are things in your life that you see are good but they are actually bad? What are things that you see as bad but they are actually good. These are called false positives and false negatives. We can be in situations that can make us feel worse about ourselves. Find your identity in Christ and let Him fulfill all your needs. 

You have the time to grow and become a stronger, wiser, and more mature woman. We can choose to focus on what we don't have or be grateful for what we do have. Whether it is your career, school work, or other activities, you have the opportunity to become better each day. Let every day be a fresh start and be all that you are meant to be. 

John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven.

It can be so easy to worry. Even after God gives us prophecy, we still question Him. After he tells us his promises, we still doubt. He knows our thoughts and the anxiousness we feel. He tells us to not worry and that He has it all under control. Let Him fulfill your heart today and let His word be what satisfies you. His will shall be done!

Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

"I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him. But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband. I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible."

Part I Verses

Reliance on God

Psalm 42: 1

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

Rest

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Peace

John 14:27

I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.

Faith

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Grace

Ephesians 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.

Part II Verses

Strength

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Release/ Patience

Psalm 27:14

Wait patiently for the Lord.

    Be brave and courageous.

    Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Worry

Mathew 6:34

 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

Obedience 

John 14:15

15 “If you love me, obey[a] my commandments.

Plan

We can make our plans,

    but the Lord determines our steps.

God's love for you is infinite. Surrender your will to god's will for your life in this season.
