So I’ve had some people ask me, “What keeps you so motivated? So positive and upbeat?” Well the short answer, but in depth answer is prayer. No, seriously, prayer. See, I’m no perfect person. I’m just truly trying to be better than what I was yesterday. And naturally so some days are a straight up struggle. For whatever reason. Sometimes no reason at all. (That’s when you know Satan is busy.) The difference between me now and then is I amor myself with Gods promises instead of complaining, speaking negative things ova myself and my life, so forth and so on. (I’ll neva have this. I’ll neva be that.)
God has shown me Himself so so sooo many times in my life. In small ways and in miracles. I mean it’s, it’s unbelievable at times although I believe in Him.
I absolutely love to pray. It gives me this place of comfort inside of me. Prayer gives me hope in hopeless moments. (And trust me, I have felt mighty mighty hopeless at certain times in my life.) Prayer, it gives me strength in times where I feel weak. May it be mentally, physically, spiritually, or emotionally. It simply makes me happy. Like pure joy. It gives me peace of mind in times of worry, the unbeknownst, and turmoil.
I am truly a blessed somebody. For countless reasons. I look at my life and I’ve gotten not only what I’ve always wanted, but God continues to give me exactly what I need. But trust me when I say it came with a price. I’ve been tremendously sad. I’ve been overwhelmed with doubt. I’ve been paralyzed in fear. I’ve been comfortable with being coated in anger, and Chile that ain’t all. I’ve said terrible things about people. I’ve said terrible things about myself. I’ve been a follower and not at all a leader. I’ve been lustful. I’ve been vulnerable. It hasn’t always been easy. But I promise you it has always been significant. I know without a shadow of a doubt that God has protected me from people, places, and thing I am so unaware of. I‘ve taken inventory ova my life and it could be so many other ways. It’s times where I have been frustrated with Jesus. Why me? Why now? Why not? I know that God Himself will allow you to go through things to draw you closer to Him. Oh Chile, I’ve been there too.
Thank God for Jesus because I’ve sure left Him. But He’s neva eva left me. #Grace&Mercy So with that I will continue to say yes to His way. Yes to His will, and yes to His call.
So, I would like to share with you 12 scriptures that keep me going when things are going good and when times are bad.
