EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.” (Psalm 30:10)
Pain is real, and it becomes heavy when it reaches into our minds with frustrations. We need to address it and take it to God with full faith before we can heal it. The hurts and the agony often come at times we never anticipate. We can let pain fester beneath the surface of life, but it begins taking us into sad places where we have no business going as a daughter of God.
If you’ve gone around the mountain with no breakthroughs, then please try moving into a place of joy and thanksgiving with your thoughts. Try to praise God in these situations. Read books about God’s love for you when you feel pain. Alter your thoughts and focus on scripture and God. Memorize scripture about His love and compassion for you. Voice it out loud; it helps.
God wants you to come to Him with all that you have, your burdens and heavy-laden heart.
“Come to Me all you that labor and are heavy ladened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
 God will heal your wounds, help your thoughts, and strengthen you. Your story is not over yet, and do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
 “You have a future,” God says.
There are new, spacious places, and God longs to explore them with you. Give Him room to do so.
Our loving God is a Promise Maker and a Promise Keeper who will take you through the barren field just as He took me and has taken so many others.
When I found Him with a surrendered heart, I became fertile again. I was bursting with life and became ready to serve Him with my whole heart.
As you worship God today, thank Him for saving your soul. Thank Him for making you whole again. Thank Him that He’s on top of every hidden hurt, every embedded fear, and every depressed thought you have. God removed them one by one in my life- He will do the same for you!
Ask God for a new vision for your life today. One that will take you from mourning into dancing. Be determined to saturate your mind with Christ each day; that’s what I did, and it worked.  I do this every day, no longer getting down. God and His Word and declarations I said each day helped. His mercies are new each morning.💕
