JUST SAY NO, is that OK?

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 🙏

#ThankYOUJESUS ❤️

JUST SAY NO, is that OK?

Just say no… that is a line created for drug awareness. But there is so much more to it. I want to find my “NO” again. Somewhere along my road, I lost it. I even justified saying “yes” to things I did not want to do or was not comfortable with because I just felt “it was the right thing to do”. GOD wants our hearts REAL, so even by thinking I was doing the right thing, I actually was building up anger in my heart.

After a while, you lose yourself in a sea of “YES”. So, today I am going to give myself a raft in that sea and it will spell N-O! And as scary as that is to me, it is a must on my road to be the best me.

Psalm 38:8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart

Dear GOD,
I find it challenging to know when to be supportive to others and when to step back. Sometimes, I give so much of my time, energy or resources to others that I feel drained. I desire to remember that YOU are the PROVIDER of all. I am learning that it is not up to me to be the fixer for another person. When I attempt to do this, I am acting on a misperception and that is why I feel drained. I want to change FATHER! I ask that YOU show me the right actions to take based upon my feelings of peace. If I feel compelled to do something for another and I feel peaceful and/or joyful about it, then I will know I am following YOUR direction. When I act from fear, guilt, anxiety or scarcity, I will know I am responding to misconceptions. Please help me to know the difference. Thy will be done. Amen

Deni, you are so right on with this beautiful prayer. I know I get so envolved trying to solve my loved ones problems etc. A few years ago a dear friend told me " That is God's job, we are to ask for his help and be willing to do His Will" Now I catch myself doing it and can stop it, TYJ !!

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.
