Hope

Posted on by ChronicallyGratefulDeb

Hey everyone, it’s debbie here. Today, I want to talk about the power hope and faith in challenging times.

We often hear people saying “I hope everything works out” or ” Lets hope things get better,” but what does HOPE really mean? Hope is the expectation that something good is going to happen.

When faced with bad news, it’s easy to let fear and anxiety take over, making us feel overwhelmed and hopeless. But I’ve learned that we shouldn’t let the devil’s lies control us. Instead, we should be strong and believe that God is in control. He wants us to expect great things and have faith that everything will work out.

I remember I went to the eye doctor recently because my vision was blurry. I could have let fear set in when they referred me to a specialist for further glaucoma tests, but I chose to trust in God’s plan. Similarly, in 2018 when I was diagnosed with a nasopharyngeal tumor, I could have been consumed by fear, worries if it was cancer but with faith and the support of great medical professionals, like Dr Terrence Zipfel I underwent surgery at Salem Community Hospital in Salem Ohio and the tumor turned out to be benign.

I hold onto Jeremiah 29:11, which reminds me that God has plans for my welfare, not for evil, but for good and great things. By staying hopeful, reading the Bible, and strengthening my faith, I’ve learned to overcome fear and let go of worry.

So remember, even when things don’t go as planned, having faith and hope can lead us through difficult times. Ask God to show you his plan, it may be different than what you have in mind, and trust in God’s plan, pray, read your Bible, and watch your faith grow stronger. The devil has no place in our lives when we focus on God’s promises. Let’s choose hope over fear and walk confidently in faith.

Gave a blessed day.

Posted on by ChronicallyGratefulDeb

In the midst of life’s trials and tribulations it is easy for us to feel overwhelmed by our own emotions and limitations. By that I mean that cannot even think We often find ourselves praying within the confines of what we believe is possible, constrained by our understanding of what can be achieved.

As humans, our thinking is inherently limited, constrained by our experiences, perceptions, and understanding. However, we serve a limitless God whose plans surpass our wildest imaginations. It can be challenging for us to comprehend the vastness of God’s love, grace, and abundance, as His ways are higher than our ways Despite our limitations, we can find solace in the fact that God’s vision for our lives is far greater and more magnificent than anything we could conceive. By placing our trust in Him and surrender to His will, we open ourselves up to receive the extraordinary blessings and opportunities that He has in store us.

So what if we dared to look beyond these confines and trust in a higher power that knows no bounds?

God’s power is limitless, transcending all human comprehension and exceeding all expectations.

When we place our faith in Him, we lift ourselves up to the unfathomable possibilities that lie beyond our own imagination.

We must remember that God has the ability to alleviate our pain, to bring solace to our troubled hearts, ease our worried or anxious mind, heal our weak body’s and to grant us the strength to overcome any obstacle.

It is essential that we shift our perspective from a mentality of limitations to one of boundless faith. Even when our minds tell us that our hopes are too far-fetched, we must choose to believe in the infinite potential of God’s grace. Instead of focusing on what we perceive as improbable, let us fix our gaze on the miraculous work that God can perform in our lives.

When you find yourself grappling with pain, uncertainty, or doubt, do not hesitate to reach out to God in prayer. Pour out your heart to Him, for He is always listening and ready to offer His unending love and compassion. Make it a habit to connect with Him daily, through prayer and the reading of His Word, allowing His presence to bring you peace and guidance.

Belief in God’s limitless power requires us to have unwavering faith, even when our circumstances seem insurmountable and our own strength feels inadequate. Trust in His promises, for He is faithful and true. Set aside your doubts and fears, and embrace the profound truth that God’s love knows no bounds.

As you embark on this journey of faith and surrender, may you find comfort in the knowledge that God is ever-present, ready to lift your burdens and lead you towards a future filled with hope and joy. Believe, even when you feel like you cannot, for in God, all things are possible.

Embracing Your Divine Worth: Overcoming Doubts and Emacing God’s Truth

Posted on by ChronicallyGratefulDeb

In a world that bombards with messages of inadequacy and self-doubt, it can be easy to fall into the trap of feeling unworthy and unlovable. The enemy preys on our insecurities, whispering lies that we are not good enough, not smart enough, not beautiful enough. These lies can take root in our hearts, eroding our sense of self-worth clouding our perception of our true value.

But today, I want to remind you of the powerful that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by a loving Creator. You are not defined by your past mistakes, your shortcomings, or the negative words of others. Your worth does not come from external validation or worldly standards; it comes from the God who created you in His own image.

Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has prepared in advance for us to do. This verse is a powerful affirmation of our divine purpose and significance. We are not accidents or afterthoughts; we are intentional creations designed for a specific plan and purpose.

So, my dear friends, I urge you to silence the voice of doubt and negativity that seeks to undermine your worth. Instead, speak words of truth and affirmation over yourself. Declare, “I am worthy, I am beautiful, I am forgiven, I am a unique creation of God.” Let go of guilt and shame, for the grace of God covers all our sins and shortcomings.

Do not allow the dysfunction of others to shape your self-perception. Remember that you are God’s prize possession, cherished and beloved beyond measure. Choose to focus on the positive, on the goodness and grace of God that surrounds you. Fill your mind and heart with thoughts of gratitude, love, and acceptance.

Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today seeking strength and wisdom to overcome our doubts and insecurities. Help us to see ourselves through Your eyes, as valuable and beloved children of God. Grant us the courage to let go of negativity and embrace the truth of Your Word. May we walk in confidence and assurance of our worth, knowing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by You. Amen.

May we all choose to dwell on the positive, to embrace our divine worth, and to align our thoughts and actions with God’s truth. Let us walk boldly in the knowledge that we are worthy, loved, and cherished by our Heavenly Father.
