GOD is bigger! Bigger than your fear, bigger than your anxiety and doubts, bigger than your pain, bigger than your past, bigger than any of your hurts, bitterness or resentments.


The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love ME. I will protect those who trust in MY NAME! When they call on ME, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them MY salvation.” (Psalm 19:14-16)


I often find myself drowning in life’s hurts because Rather than calling upon the LORD, I try to heal myself.


All I need to do is trust in the LORD, with all my heart and soul… and HE rescues me because HE is bigger! Amen 🙏

Helpless - Hate it!

I do not like being sick. I feel helpless. Me and helpless, we do not get along so well. My mantra of Romans 8:28 reminds me that all things work for the good of GOD.

BUT I get frustrated and angry (WARNING: PITY ME PARTY coming) when I feel limited, and achy and just don’t think it is fair.

When I was a child I used to hear “Life is not fair” by my parents and when I was a parent I used to spew those same words to my kids. I gotta tell you; those words do not make anyone feel better. I probably should apologize a million times to my kids for even uttering that phrase once.

The reality of the issue is sometimes I am inconsolable and want to whine and bitch. Sometimes I just want to be all doom and gloom. Sure it serves no healthy or positive purpose that I can think of but either does a big chocolate cake and I like that as well. I guess as with the chocolate cake, the trick is moderation. I guess it is okay to just be miserable but it is not okay to stay miserable.

So, today I am inconsolable, miserable, and whiney. But I know that GOD is holding me like a father holds a child. I like the think that even though “life is not fair” GOD does not tell me that, instead… I think I hear “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ” (Isaiah 41:10, ESV)- GOD’S way of saying, everything is going to be ok.

PRAYER: DEAR GOD, thank you that I do not have to “be some way” for you to love me. I can be sad and you will lift me, I can be frustrated and you will sustain me, I can be unlovable- BUT you still love me. Thank you JESUS for giving me what I do not deserve. In JESUS name I pray, AMEN

    I am Deni, short for Denise. I grew up in a Jewish home, in a Jewish neighborhood and a Jewish family. In 3rd grade we moved. We moved to a mostly non-Jewish area.... that is where JESUS found me. I say found me because I yet had not acknowledged it, but would find out later.......by grace, HE HELD ME ALL ALONG, just a lil Jewish girl from Philly.
