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 🙏

STEP 1- I am powerless but JESUS is not!

I am powerless. Those three little words are very hard to say. IF I could take them to heart, I think it would be so freeing. And I am a work in progress.

I have a need to “control”. I control because I believe in that control there is an element of safety. Because of that need though, I have affected my life and those around me probably not in a great way. I have been struggling with this for a long time. Many of my blog posts have been evident of this.

On and off in my life, I have placed myself in the “rooms”. That is what they are called but it means I have been involved in the 12 Step Program. This past week I have finally decided to work it rather than just attend it. Those rooms became a feeding ground for me and my addiction. What is that, you ask? I have a need to over-help. Is that even a possibility you ask? YES, when it comes at a cost to others, myself but more than that to GOD. In essence I try to play GOD. I try to be everything to all those around me because I somewhere along the way believed that this was my role; this was how I was to be loved and gain attention. This was my drug.

So…… simply but in fear of letting go… I am admitting that I am powerless over the manipulation, commanding, and controlling of others and as a result I am also admitting that my life has become unmanageable.

Hebrews 13:15 exclaims, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Inside I feel awful and I am not asking for ANYONE to let me off the hook. That is not why I write this blog. I share because I am hopeful that through my sharing, perhaps one person may read and relate and see that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST.

I have heard a lot lately about “positivity”. MY father and mother both prescribe/d  to this notion. And it is a good notion and has its place. But in order to come to that place where you can see the clearing through the brush; one must first clear the brush. I am ok with that. I am also ok that this process may hurt but I am not alone. I may feel alone but I am not.

Denying one the reality of their feelings is denying them their reality. I have done that to my friends, my family and worst, my kids. I am going to stop. Today…. GOD is going to walk with me and guide me. I AM powerless, however, JESUS is not!

    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.
