You have a choice today. A million of them.
You can listen to the lies of the enemy that tell you you’re no good, you’re a failure, you’re stuck where you’re at, no one could love you.
Or you can listen to the voice of Truth.
He is rejoicing over you with singing, He calls you chosen, He redeems you, He brings beauty from ashes, He is a father to the fatherless and a strong tower in times of trouble. He is your shield and hope and joy.
Which will you choose?
Let’s choose WHATEVER IS TRUE together.
“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” Philippians 4:8-9, The Message
I “accidently” came across your blog today while looking for a pretty printable prayer of encouragement to send to my prayer partner and for my . Long story short, God brought me to this page and spoke directly to my hurting heart. Thank you for being a vessel He is using to restore and refresh, to heal and empower those, like me who have been listening to the wrong voice for far to long.
Because of Him,
Sherri
I am having such a a hard time keeping those voices at bay. Even when I am sitting and reading God’s Word, while I am reading the voices are filling my mind trying to speak over my reading. If I stop reading, or am just sitting trying to enjoy the sunshine, the voices are even louder. I am trying so hard to fill the empty void in my heart, soul and mind that has been left since the passing of my husband, very unexpectedly 5 months ago. But nothing seems to be working. I go to church, I go to Bible studies, I go to counseling training, I try to go and visit with friends but none of it is helping. Why? I pray for God to fill that void with His Spirit, His joy, His heart. I just want to stop feeling so sad. I am very thankful for God’s amazing grace that He continually pours down on me, minute by minute, I am so grateful for my church family and all they do to encourage me, and yet the sadness is just always there and the voices that keep me discouraged and down. Please pray for me. I even try playing worship music loud to drown out the evil voices, but they are still there. Return to me the joy of my salvation!
