Practical help for when my heart is overwhelmed

Bygatheryoursisters

When my heart is overwhelmed I cry out to God. If I am not able to step away from the situation I silently pray. If it is an issue with one of my children, I will pray out loud with and without them.

I want you to know that God truly does desire to bring us hope and healing, salvation, each and every single day, and in every moment. He wants to be our all and all.

When my mind is spiraling with all the negative thoughts, I know I can count on Him to help me. How?

Because His Word tells us in Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also give us all things.”

What a promise! I needed to hear this. In the midst of trials and tribulations and everyday hard moments I need this hope. God cares. God sees. God will help.

How to trust God in the unknowns of life

Bygatheryoursisters

Because of the sacrifice of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we do not have to wrestle alone. He understands. He meets us in this place of wandering. He calls us back to Himself. He is trustworthy sister. If you find yourself walking through a dark season of the soul, lean in close, “He will not leave you, He will not forsake you.” He cannot. We have been entrusted into His loving arms and He will not let us go. This is the good news of the gospel, no matter what happens in this life, Christ will never let go. He will see us through. And when we forget His lovingkindness will remind us, because Faithful is who He is.

How to trust God when everything says it’s impossible

Bygatheryoursisters

I want you to know that there will be promises Father gives you, and these promises you may have to war for, in prayer. I have a simple faith. The Lord said it, therefore I believe it. I want this for you. In the face of the giants that rise up to mock us, to tear us down, God has not forgotten you sister! God is closer than your very breath, He will see you through!

How to have hope in impossible situations

Bygatheryoursisters

“Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.”

In our suffering. Our mourning. We will be met with His comfort and compassion. 
Strength to face the very real and painful challenges we walk through in our lives.
We will reap a harvest if we do not give up! Do not give up! The enemy will whisper lies.
“He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:32

How to find your voice again, life after death

Bygatheryoursisters

Have you ever wondered why we’re able to remember something more easily through song? Would you believe it is by design?

Like the depths of the ocean, washing over me, cleansing me from years of pain, and depths of sorrow no person should ever have to walk through. Even in this place hope is here. No matter what we go through in life we will not be forsaken. Lift up your voice to The Holy One who loves you most. He who is enthroned upon the praises of His people.

How to keep moving forward when all hope seems lost

Bygatheryoursisters

The most beautiful picture I hold closely in my mind especially in seasons of hardship, is this tangible reminder, “even when I don’t have the capacity, strength to hold on, HE ALWAYS DOES!” It is His grip that matters most. Just as it is my grip that matters most when my little darlings are walking across the busy parking lot with me, even when they let go, my grip is firm, I will not let go. Father’s grip is all the greater, and He will not let go

When life feels uncertain, where is my hope found?

Bygatheryoursisters

When life feels uncertain, and the fear is whispering “He has forsaken you”, sister, I want you to speak out these words, whisper them if you must, but let your ears hear, let your heart receive, let your brain process these words, “Behold I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…” You are ever before Him. He is not calloused to your needs. He is not hardened to your cries. The psalmist below declared, “Because He bends down to listen I will pray as long as I have breath” Yes, there is hope today.

How to ask for help when life is overwhelming

Bygatheryoursisters

Many of us truly struggle with asking for help, but there is nothing like seeing God meet our very real needs. It is in our weakness that Gods power is made manifest in us! Not in our strength, not in our ability to grab life by the boot straps. It is in our weakness. In our inability to hold ourselves together.
