Pride comes in many forms for me: thinking I have control, inflated ego, false humility, superiority, power over others, false self-worth, intelligence, vanity and I am sure many more. Pride is something I still struggle with, I am sure that is why The Lord has put it on my heart to write about pride today. This will be sort of a confession for me: I confess Lord I think I can control other people, and believe I know best for them, I can control if my husband cheats again Make my husband not a workaholic I can control if my husband drinks I can make him repent for betrayal the way I think he should I think his walk with You should be a certain way or it is wrong I can control my kids' health with the right vitamins, foods...

I was in bondage to fear most of my life. It seems each fear would spin out more fears. At times they would be overwhelming. Thoughts of fears would also produce feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, crazy, panic, etc... Those feelings would then produce undesirable behaviors. I would distance myself in relationships, I may withdraw, short fuse, avoidance of certain places people or actions. I was also very aware of the fact that I had given my children the curse of fear. I did not want them to suffer like me. When I read Bondage Breakers I was shocked, relieved and hopeful to find out I was not alone. Many people were in bondage to fear. So many there was a whole section devoted to it. There was a check off list of fears...

Ephesians 6:10-20 New International Version (NIV) The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with...

Sometimes just a bible verse is enough for a whole day without my thoughts mixed in. 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Every day should be Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for the miracles and healing and etc. I am thankful for this site, for the people here. I am thankful for so much. It may seem like I have little but then I realize how much worse things are without God. Updates: I really don't want it to seem like my life is as crazy as it may sound on here but in ways it is. However, prayers make everything better! Most of my needs right now are about finances, health, friendship and spirituality (for my father). Also people judge me and my family because we have so many problems it sounds unbelievable so that sometimes causes me to be upset or slightly melancholy because I don't think Christians should be doing judging in that way. It's not like...

The Bible tells us to forgive, my therapist told me I had to forgive for my sake, every self-help book says I have to forgive. The prevailing question HOW? The next question is do I really want to forgive them. Here is a favorite quote I have heard: Unforgiveness is like drinking poison expecting the other person to die. After the abandonment of a biological father, the sexual abuse from two men, an adopted father that was full of rage, alcoholic, and emotionally abusive, an ex-husband that tried to kill me, cheated on me, then a current husband that cheated on me HOW? And a lot of I deserve to feel sorry for myself, rage, anger, unworthiness, hopelessness, and vengeance. I almost felt comfortable being miserable. I was used to...

I have been reading 2 Chronicles recently, and I have seen a lot of examples of influence. For example, 2 Chronicles 22:3 "He [###] too walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him in doing wrong." In this situation, we see how ###'s (King of Judah) mother had a bad influence on him. What if his mother was a woman of God? Would ### have done right? We don't know for sure, but I think so. "He [###, king of Judah] sought God during the days of ###, who instructed him in the fear of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success." (2 Chronicles 26:5) In this case, the prophet ### had a good influence on ###. If ### did not do right, maybe ### would have been more like ###. I have a third example: After...

Sunday I received freedom from the bondage of sexual abuse, along with that The Lord pulled out anxiety, helplessness, depression, shame, rage, and confusion by the roots deep down in me. My biological father was one of the men that had abused me. I have very little contact with him. Last night he posted a very sexual response to a Christian Post I made on a social media site. Immediately the words "I do not receive that" came to mind. I will talk more about those words in a bit. I posted it with "I still love you." Honestly, I felt disgusted, angry, and within seconds self-pity I knew I did not want to go back there. I posted a prayer request urgently needing help with forgiveness. I then posted a separate prayer request that my...

As children of God we should seek to do our BEST yet often there are things that we may read, hear, or see that makes us see and feel what is WRONG in our life neglecting to recognize the good in our life — what little that might be at times…let us not forget that becoming a soldier in the army of God ....a child of God made in His image... this is a process we go through…being TRANSFORMED into God’s likeness…but there is good in all of us…God says so..He says there is a spot in a man’s spirit that only He can fill and satisfy…so everyone has this..He says so..it's focusing on it and allowing it to grow in His image...that's the hard part....that's the choice. Some of us have had really bad, dreadful lives and dreadful situations that...
