June 11, 2020 My Story of Child Abuse
https://www.childhelp.org/hotline/
An abuser’s best friend is silence: the silent fear of the victim and the silence of those who could report. If you are being hurt, know someone who might be hurting, or are afraid you might hurt another, call or text the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline. Your voice on the phone, your voice in text, or your online voice chatting with one of our professional crisis counselors will be a first step in breaking the silence and getting help. If you see any signs of abuse in someone you know, or if you yourself are involved in an abusive relationship, get help right away. Our Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is a 24-hour hotline with resources to aid in every child abuse situation. All calls are confidential. Call 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) for help.

Song moment - https://open.spotify.com/track/6mRX8XiGASA8YDO5B9DWeT?si=Ek1hmRzDS0a73Tpp05WoPg
Father help me be more like You Give me Your heart I want to see people The way You do Take out of me And add to me Anything You want Help me silence the voices in me That torment and taunt Give me the boldness to be Who you have called me to be To live a life completely surrendered So it’s Christ the world sees in me Free me from the desire To be accepted by all Because You told me I’d be rejected The moment I answered the call.

March 19, 2020 Trusting God During the Coronavirus Pandemic⚠️
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 2:1-7 NKJV)
Fear can rob us of three essential gifts from God that we desperately need at this time. Power enables us to live a life of faith when it’s not easy. Love enables us to share and sacrifice when it’s not convenient. A sound mind allows us to experience peace, even when everything seems to be going wrong.
There is too much at stake to give in to fear during this season. Now more than ever, we need power, love, and a sound mind. Fear is too costly. Choose faith.

March 17, 2020 Are You Really Surrendering Your Prayers?
READ: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6,7 ESV)
TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT: Today’s verses can make life sound like a fairy tale. We pray, and peace comes. But how many times have you prayed and the inner turmoil didn’t let up? Maybe it’s because giving up our requests to God requires surrender of the anxieties and outcomes to God. How often do we actually do that?
When we open our hearts and lips to pray, we also have a responsibility to let go of the results. Jesus is willing to shoulder our worries when we’re willing to trust Him.
Paul urges us in Philippians to go to God with gratitude and let our worries, concerns, and anticipations be made known to God. When we let go of those requests, the next verse tells us the peace of God will stand guard over our hearts and minds.
When we understand the gravity of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness to his children, we can sit gratefully at His feet with our simple prayers and fully surrender to His will. Then we will experience the kind of peace we’ve been longing for, the peace that surpasses all understanding.
PRAY: Father God, I surrender. I let go of the things keeping me up at night. I lay at Your feet the worries weighing me down during the day. Jesus, I declare my trust is in Your love and faithfulness as soon as the words leave my mouth. I ask for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to clothe my weary heart. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

March 16, 2020 She is known for her boldness
What do you want to be known for? I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a list. And real talk—some of it is kind of shallow. See, I’d love to be known for being confident, wise, selfless, and strong. But I’d also like it if I were known for looking effortlessly cute, being impressive or having a must-follow social media presence. In Mark 14:3-9, a story is told about a woman who worships Jesus in an extravagant expression of love. Basically, she interrupts him in the middle of a dinner party to anoint him with some very expensive perfume. Yet in the face of such a beautiful outpouring of worship, she is met with criticism. What I find fascinating is that in response to the criticism, Jesus says that her story will be told all over the world. In fact, he said, “I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.” (Mark 14:9 NLT) . Now, this woman could have been remembered only for the harsh words that were spoken over her by those who looked down on her and her actions. But that’s not why we still speak about her and tell her story today. This woman is remembered for the way she loved her savior. It was selfless, beautiful, and extravagant. She overcame criticism and shame to pour out her offering of love for the one who would pour out forgiveness through his own blood. When all is said and done, this is what I really want, to remembered for how deeply I loved God, and how that love was a driving force in all I did. Lord, let my life be poured out as an offering. Thank you for your grace that covers my sins, and that allows me to share your love with those around me.
