Be Encouraged


 
 
Hey, I pray all is well in this new year. If your year has got off to a rocky start, it's okay. I think sometimes we put too much pressure going into a new year. We miss a workout, we forget we are on a diet, or we don't follow through with some goals and then we just go back to our same routine we were doing from the year before.

I want to encourage you on today to face whatever discouragement and doubt you are facing. I know today in the Christian world there are those Christians who aren't really Christians. If you know what I mean. They are the ones going through the motion. Wanting change but really don't want change because they aren't doing anything to change.

I ran across this article: "Christians Won't Understand My Doubt" - http://convergemagazine.com/breaking-church-10452/ and I want you to read this story. I believe many of us face doubt, we lose hope and pick up self hatred when life is not going our way or God is not answering our prayers on our time. Even if you haven't felt this way, I am sure you know others who have or are.

It's time to pray and allow God to help us figure out why we disconnect, go on roller coaster rides in our faith and fight the same battles over and over. I don't know about you but God didn't save me just to barely make it by. Granted we are going to have seasons where they are harder then others but even then, He said is burden is light. I stand on His word and promises. My prayer for you, is for you to start doing the same. Change, growth and breakthrough is here!

I would love to hear back from you. How is life going? How is your walk with God? How can I be praying for you? What questions do you have about your faith?

Feel free to respond whenever you get the chance. Love you. Hang in there and stay encouraged! This is your year to change your life around for the best!

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.  In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me."
