the struggle

Published on by Dawn Marie7 Comments

For all of January, Word Press is running once again a month-long blogging challenge and I have been invited to join them!

(Along with every other WP member! Giggles.)

I will be given a new daily writing prompt to inspire me to publish a post on my blog. There is no right or wrong way to respond to the prompts. Members who register take this opportunity to exercise their creativity and have fun! We can choose to respond with a story, a drawing, a poem, a photo, a comic strip, a recipe, or even a playlist.

Anything goes!

I am excited for this challenge because by participating in Bloganuary, I will join bloggers around the world in the shared goal of creating and/or solidifying a strong blogging habit. Also, with the Bloganuary community site, I’ll connect with and get to know others working toward similar goals. I just may even make some new blogging friends!!

This all excites me!

While I may not use the prompt every day – I do hope to use this challenge to strengthen my blogging habit, yet again. However, if I do use the prompt for the day I will be certain to attach the badge to clue you in!

Inspired by January 2nd’s prompt:

Are you brave?

I am a woman.

I am a wife.

I am a mother.

I am a grandmother.

I am His.

Those are definites.

It’s all the in-between, which I often struggle (to answer.)

Am I brave?

When I rest in Him…I am.

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Isaiah 41:10

hugs n’ blessings to all those who trust in the great I AM – and become braver than they ever imagined!

Trust Me

Do you believe I am the Son of God?

And do you believe that I died for all men and women and that I rose from the dead?

Then why do you continue to be distracted and anxious about your loved ones?

Do they not belong to Me?

Would I refuse to work in their lives just as I work in yours?

I have not put you in charge of redeeming them.

I have already done that.

Nor do you have the power to change their hearts;

only my Holy Spirit searches and knows the deepest hearts of men and women, and only He can heal their deepest wounds.

Your task is to love, to forgive, to pray for them and to turn them over to Me. 

Come closer to me yourself, and I will do the rest.

TRUST ME!

Jesus, I trust in you!
