He has heard your cry....

I love the Lord, for He heard my voice, He heard my cry for mercy. ( Psalm 116:1 )

God's Word gives us hope when we feel utterly alone and hopeless. We can take comfort in knowing that God does not allow a trial in our lives that is too great for us to bear. - Carol Baldwin - Women's Devotional Bible Calendar

And remember, through ALL of our trials and tribulations, He is there to walk with us, to give us guidance and strength for His Word does not say that we will be free of such things, but rather that the afflictions of the righteous are many, but He is there to see us through them all!

Blessings in Obedience

Deuteronomy 28 tells us that if we obey the Lord & follow His commands that God will set us high above all nations of the earth and many blessings are ours. The following is rewritten for us to confess over our lives, based from this passage.

I love and obey God, therefore...
I am blessed in the city & blessed in the country.
My children are blessed and I am prosperous.
I am blessed in the field & blessed in my basket.
I am blessed going out & blessed coming in.
The Lord grants me victory over my enemies.
Everything I put my hand to prospers.
The Lord has established me holy.
All the people will see that the Lord is my God.
The Lord grants me prosperity of my children, my job & my home.
The Lord opens the heavens to bless my life & all the works of my hands.
I lend to many & borrow from none.
I am the head & not the tail.
I am above only & not beneath.

The Bible also tells us to speak the things that are not as if they were. Meaning that even when we do not "feel" that the above is true, speak it anyhow! Words are very powerful in the spiritual realm ( God spoke & the world was! ) and we are first spiritual beings. When you want to say, "I am sick" instead speak the Truth, "I am healed!" This works for all things for we will have what we speak!

Psalm 90

The Bible is full of God's promises. There are many passages that we can use to pray to God and speak against the enemy just as Jesus did. The prayer below is based on Psalms 90: 1-2 ; 12-17

Lord, You have been my dwelling place throughout generations.
Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth & world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.
Teach me to number my days aright, that I may gain a heart of wisdom.
Have compassion on me, Your servant.
Satisfy me in the morning with Your unfailing love, that I may sing for joy & be glad all my days.
Make me glad for as many days as You have afflicted me, for as many years as I have seen trouble.
May Your deeds be shown to me, Your servant, Your splendor to my children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon me; establish the work of my hands for me.
