Honestly, tomorrow I was suppose to post something I’ve been working on but right now I can’t put on a mask and act like I don’t need encouragement too.
It’s not always easy answering the call on your life. Some days its hard, to get out of bed to keep pressing on. To walk in the uncertainty. It’s not easy living in true authenticity. It’s not easy showing up for yourself when you see no progression. To go to a job you don’t like. To keep a smile on your face. To hold back the tears. To trust and keep the faith.
All those things are true but don’t give up. Use the weapons that God gave you to keep fighting when it feels like you’re in a battle. Face your eyes on how sovereign and faithful God to carry you this far.
I want to give you a few scriptures that you can speak over yourself when you need some encouragement.
Luke 14:27 “Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.”
•Following Christ or carrying the gift that God placed on the inside of you comes with pain, hurt, tears, etc. But to walk in purpose, you have to carry a cross.
2 Corinthians 12:9-11 “And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
Psalms 27:12 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
Isaiah 41:10 “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.”
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Deuteronomy 31:8-9 “ The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
I pray and hope that Gods words lift you up .
Talk to you soon, Key Lashaye 🖤
