Underscore


The enemy puffs, "That's right! You've got this! No one could juggle all this as well as you do. God must REALLY trust you to put all this on you at once. You are unbelievably strong and self-reliant!"

She gives it all a listen and gives it a thought, but it feels bilious and misaligned.

The prowl pivots with a hiss, "You're right. You canNOT do this. It is all so much. Why would God allow all this at once. You are incredibly weak and very alone."

This soundtrack lands warped and incongruent as well.

She drowns the noise with streams of truth. She silences the roar with whispers of praise. Yet still the subtle, weighty paw of doubt upon her chest . . .

She knows she is not alone. Feelings lie. The Father is closeby. Brought close by the presence of His sons and daughters. 

She musters brave humility to reach out and sure enough . . .

Assurance,
Prayers,
Partnership,
Hope,
Friends interceding with Jesus for her protection and strength,
Common Unity,
Community and peace.

Right here. We have what it takes. God is wise and kind and it will take His strength to accomplish the tremendous good He has designed. Treasure this weakness and trust Him.

He is near and He is able.
It's a promise.
