“From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2
When I am overwhelmed by the loss and suffering around me, I remind my heart that God is not overwhelmed.
When I’m praying for comfort for others, I remember that He is the God of all comfort and I ask Him to show up in tangible ways.
When I am asking God to show me ways to love on those who are hurting, I am reminded that I am not called to fix it but to show love and let the Almighty step in and do His thing.
When I am mad at the enemy for seemingly winning some ground I remind my heart of our VICTORY in JESUS and that I know the end of the story.
When I look around and see despair, I remind myself that Jesus Himself said there would be trouble in this world, but not to fear because HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD.
I must tell my heart, and those whom I love that are hurting, that our HOPE is built on NOTHING LESS than Jesus’ blood and righteousness!!
On CHRIST the SOLID ROCK we will STAND.

Today I feel as if I’m loosing my marriage, husband, and it’s only been a year and seven months and six days! And my heart is broken already. I need prayer for my marriage myself and my husband before it’s too late.

Praying for you. Hang on with all your might, pray like never before, rebuke the enemy & cast him out of your home & your marriage & most importantly offer your husband the most love & respect you have ever shared before even if he doesn’t deserve it. God is still in the healing business, even broken marriages, so I am praying he will mend even the tiniest fracture in the mighty name of Jesus!!

Thanks for this reminder today, Candace! Our solid rock, yes! All other ground is sinking sand.
Christie Armstrong says
I am praying daily for a dear cousin who lost her husband after only a 5 week battle with cancer. Her heart is broken and mine breaks for her and with her. Thank you for this beautiful reminder that I will share with her. God Bless you Candace, I am so blessed by your devotions.

When you know who you are, you don’t need to worry. God’s promises are yes and amen. God fights for you when you give it to him to handle. Jesus said that all we need to do is to have faith!! Truth
