Discouraged?

by Hazel Straub

Discouraged about your circumstances? Are others blaming you for things going wrong? David and his men had come back to their city and found that the enemy had come in their absence, burned the city, taken their wives and children captive and stolen their property and herds. His men blamed David and wanted to kill him but David encouraged himself and found strength in Yahweh his God. Then he asked God what to do and went and found the enemy, recovered all their loved ones, and stolen property. (1 Samuel 30)

Do not depend on others to inspire, spur and strengthen you, but encourage yourself and get strength from God, who is your help. Tell yourself that God is for you and gives you help to overcome. Change how you think and see your life change!

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God. (1 Samuel 30:6 KJV)
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7 AMPC)

The Grace Of God Is Free!

by Hazel Straub

The grace of God causes us to trust in Jesus, for our salvation (welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, safety; saved or rescued and delivered from destruction by God). Salvation is a gift from God and we cannot perform or be good enough to earn it. God gives it to us, freely! We have a new identity through Christ-the Anointed One living inside of us.

For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ! So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving. (Ephesians 2:8-9 TPT)

The Lord God Rejoices And Sings Over You!

by Hazel Straub

The Lord God not only redeems you from sin and hopelessness but also rejoices over you. He dances and sings over you, with shouts of joy. He delights in you!

Your past sins are forgiven! What good news! Dance in joy to God! Love him!

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice (dance, skip, leap, spin around  over you with joy); He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 AMPC)

Trust God And Roll Your Cares On Him

by Hazel Straub

Have you ever had concerns about your life that you gave to God, but quickly took it back? Positive change occurs, however, when we roll all of our heavy load of worries and leave it with him, trusting with confidence that he is taking care of us.

Then we enjoy a peaceful, tranquil mind because we know our Heavenly Father loves us, and is our refuge. strength and help. We rest and can hear his words of love for us, knowing that he will give us our heart’s desire because our heart (mind, will and emotions) is given to him. We enjoy spending time with him and getting to know him.

Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose (rest) each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:3-5 AMPC)

Your Thoughts Determine Your Life

by Hazel Straub

What we allow to captivate our thoughts, will control our lives. The things on which we think, whether negativity, worry, fear or positivity, such as the incredible love of God. If we do not like our thoughts, we can have another thought. The things that we think on, determines how we live our lives. Substitute the Word of God to meditate on and not negativity. It will change your life!

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (Proverbs 4:23 NLT)

Prayer Of Thankfulness

by Hazel Straub

Father, help us to have your gentle nature, so people will see you shining out of our lives. Thank you that you are always present with us. Today, we give and release all our worries and anxieties to you. We praise you that the stress turns to rest in you. Every request and need in our lives, we discuss and listen to you. We thank you for your answers. Your shalom, peace, wholeness, nothing broken or missing, guards our hearts and minds through Jesus our Messiah. Amen

Let everyone see how reasonable and gentle you are. The Lord is near! Don’t worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God’s shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua. (Philippians 4:5-7 CJB)

The Lord God Hears And Answers Us

by Hazel Straub

The Lord  God is for us and worthy of all our praise and worship. His ears and eyes hear and see us, who are made right by Jesus, his blood and resurrection. God hears our cries for help and answers and rescues us, from all our fears. We can rest and find refuge in him because he is here for us.

The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
The righteous person faces many troubles,
but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.
For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous;
not one of them is broken! (Psalm 34:17-20 NLT)
