Not everyone wants what is best for you. Learn to discern who is for you and who is not. Step away from the naysayers. Sometimes you are called to a given situation to help, to learn, to grow. Sometimes it is simply not your battle. Do not engage.
Do not let anyone continue to hurt you. If there is a pattern of abuse in any relationship, get out safely and stay out. Pray for those who spitefully use you but do not continue in a close relationship with them.
Stay safe for you are fearfully and wonderfully made “for such
Walk forward. Do not look back. Be thankful for all you have come through and for all the good that is to come your way. If you see only the negative, you surely miss all the positive around you.
Life is a challenge to be sure but it is also a divine gift. Each breath you take is precious. Each breath you take is God given. Each breath you take is one more chance to make the world a better place.
You are here “for such a time as this!” You are no accident. Whatever has gone before in your
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.

~Does your life consist of continual drama? ~ Check the choices you are making.
~Use discernment re who you let close to you. ~Not all have your best interest at heart.
No matter how things look right now, do not give up hope. Any situation can change in an instant. That instant may be a shift or a complete “suddenly” turn-around.
If change begins as a shift, do not despise the small beginning. A shift starts the momentum. Look forward with faith and hope to keep that momentum going!
Through every change, look for the lesson. Learn as you go through life. Grow forward. Never stay stuck in former destructive patterns. Allow the Lord to make all things new for you in His perfect timing and in His perfect will.

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Jesus
John 14:27
When I read this scripture this morning I could not help but wonder why most Christians are not at peace. I certainly include myself in this at times. Jesus leaves us His peace and gives it to us, yet do we freely receive that peace? His is a deep peace unlike anything the world has to offer. Yet, do we look to
As we go into fall, before the holidays, take this time to walk through your house and donate those things you do not really love or no longer use. Physical clutter actually clutters your spirit. To free up your surroundings will free up your mental clutter and give you more clarity. You will be more focused.
While clearing out, check your heart clutter (for it is always a heart issue). Clear out those things and response patterns that no longer serve you: bitterness, anger, resentment, offense and the like. Keep only those heart patterns that bring you closer to God,
Throughout the Bible it is written, “Now it came to pass…”
There is a “now” moment in every situation. It comes suddenly. It comes now. It does not tarry but comes at the appointed time…God’s perfect now moment.
So do not give up. Do not become weary. Press forward. Stand firm.
Remember the story of the woman with the issue of blood? She had suffered with her infirmity for twelve long years. She suffered much at the hands of many doctors and spent all her money. The scripture tells us that she actually became worse in her affliction.
In this time in history she was considered unclean and not to be among the populace. Yet, when she heard about Jesus she determined to follow Him. She knew if she could just touch the very hem of His garment she would be healed. Her faith had been sharpened through much adversity. Her
