Faith It Friday-Committed!

What revelation this passage provides! A startling yet simple concept of how God wants us to seek Him in every area of our lives. How He wants us to commit every area of our lives to Him. This passage shares with us the consequence of not allowing God into our everyday lives and the decisions that we make. We will not consult the Father in our decisions. The Word declares, we are to trust the Lord with all of our hearts and lean not unto our own understanding. It further declares that we should acknowledge in all of our ways, that He will direct our path.

Even during times when we feel as though we know the answer, we should acknowledge Him. Even when it is something we have done before, we should acknowledge Him. In the areas of struggle and the areas of victories, we should acknowledge Him. See, our ways are not His ways and our thoughts are not His thoughts. Even when we feel we got it right, it may not be...right.

Do you know how to acknowledge the Father? Do you feel like you are in a place that is too far from God? Have you been making your own decisions based off of your past or what use to work? Here is where you start...here is where I am starting, I pray. Pray, repent and simply talk to your Daddy. Talk to Him as if He were physically standing in front of you. Tell Him all about it. Pick up the word of God and read. Do you know where to start? Start in your area of concern. Look up scriptures that fit your situation. God cares enough to seek out those who are committed to Him and acknowledge Him. Let's Faith-It and position ourselves to be found...committed.

Faith-It Friday-Aht! Aht!

Have you ever had to tell yourself, "AHT! AHT!"? You know, like what you tell a baby when he reaches for the outlet? Like when a child attempts to touch the pot on the stove? I will bring it closer to home. Like when you read an email and you really want to respond with a nice-nasty reply? You know what I mean. Driving down the street and that person cuts you off just to make the next turn and NO ONE was behind you? Yes, that aht-aht! Sometimes, taking a deep breath just does not work. What about those deeper issues and times when it is only you. Times when people are oblivious to what they did to you. Maybe, they did not do a thing. The times in our lives when we have literally convinced ourselves that nobody cares for us. Times when old feelings want to crip into our emotions and carry us away. Moments when we have truly been offended, yet we do not address it. We just waddled in self-pity and bitterness. All of these moments can have many roots but God gives ...

Faith-It Friday-I Pray for You!

I spoke with someone today that has been having a difficult time lately. The call was actually a return call about a business-related matter. We started talking and the individual began sharing the difficulty they've been experiencing over the last few months. As you can imagine, we are all experiencing some type of increased mental strain while navigating COVID-19! As this individual began to share the experience, I reflected on my own experiences. I began to share how I experienced high levels of stress and anxiety at the start of the pandemic. I shared my frustrations about the situations that were similar. I shared the moments when all I could do was cry out, JESUS! The moments when I just listened to the word of God on my bible. The moments when I just let the meditation music play through the night in my earbuds. The individual gave a sigh of relief, began to cry, and said, "I thought I was the only one going through this." We immediately went into praye...

Faith It Friday-How to Overcome

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with the tasks, that you felt miserable? It seemed to be so much to do and yet not enough time. It almost always ends in an anxiety attack for me! I felt this way just a few days before the turn of the year. I took a moment and sat down on the edge of my bed. I looked around my room at all the things I needed to do. I got up and walked around the house and saw even more tasks to complete. I went back to my room and sat on the edge of the bed. It was at that moment that I stood up and thought to myself, the only way these tasks will be completed, is if I complete them. As I began to complete one task at a time, I felt the presence of the holy spirit. I felt the comforter. I felt relief. I didn't complete all of those tasks that night and I was okay with that. The holy spirit revealed me...to me. I had convinced myself, that all of these things had to be completed at one time. It was true. I...
