Deuteronomy 31: Do NOT Fear

Interesting verse for encouragement today…especially after my day yesterday.

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.””

I had a really tough day yesterday hormonally. I have had some fatigue and emotional low the last few months but yesterday was dark. I had no idea how dark it would get either as it continued to.  I was so excited to get on the prayer call and was really looking forward to it. As things continued to get worse for me I reached out for prayer. I eventually asked my mom to actually check in on me. I was not suicidal by any means but things were getting so dark and so heavy so quick I didn’t know where this was going.

Through it all I leaned on Christ and this amazing (Women @ the well) village. I’m so so thankful for the confidence I have built in the faith because of reading the word every day. It’s not the kind of confidence that says or believes for a second that things may not be hard or get hard, but it’s one that says when they do I do not have to fear that I am alone.

This verse was specifically speaking to the Israelites, crossing into the promised land and the various people groups they would be coming up against, but as I read this today, it was a reminder for me that I could take Courage cause no matter where the Lord takes me. He is going with me and He is before me and He is in me.

I woke up this morning not free of the heaviness but definitely better and I’m just so thankful instead of words that are filled with negativity. I found myself listening to what the Holy Spirit had to say about me. It was like this sweet, gentle whisper.  Be careful!  You are fragile

Also, a sweet reminder that I was never alone yesterday. 🙏🏻😍🥹

I can’t believe how much of my life has been spent as a “lukewarm” Christian. This daily practice has changed everything!  TGBTG.
