Praise Him in the storm

In This Article:

Lately I've been going through some situations that look hopeless and I've spent day after day praying, I even fasted. I decreed and declared, knowing that I know these requests line up with God's will, which is the Word of God. I was delivered from demonic strongholds which held me captive because of willful sin in my life.Still, I felt like nothing was changing. I was crying out to God, "what am I missing?" Finally I got my answer, I was snared by the words of my mouth. I was confessing defeat, instead of giving praise for the breakthrough and blessings He wants to give me. I wasn't waiting for Him, He was waiting for me. A perfect example is in 2 Chronicles 20, The Lord told His people this battle is not yours, it is the Lord's, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you . All of Judah began to praise and worship God, when they did this, it released God's presence and power. God is so infinitely wise while Judah trusted and praised He sent confusion and fear among their enemies, until they utterly and completely destroyed each other, not one was left standing. In order for Him to fight our battles we have to get out of our own way and trust and obey, even when our natural mind can't conveive how things could possibly change. Limiting beliefs of what He can or will do, how it'll be done, and in what timeframe we prefer will keep us from living the victorious life He wants to give us. If we get off the throne and let him be Lord in our life He'll do it such a way that the enemies we see today, we will never see again!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
