Today I live in Victory

For a long time I pushed my feelings aside. Isolated or masked my emotional ups & downs. I prayed and prayed and prayed for years. I begged the Lord to show himself to me. To give me wisdom. To release me of my fears. To wipe away all my tears. I felt stuck. I felt like I'd be in my depression, self-pity, drug addicted cycle forever. I was so comforted by my pain. Wallowing in my struggles and then feeling like a whiner because other people are worse off than I am. Today my gratitude comes from my Faith. I am grateful to have been blessed with the strength to follow Jesus and not my sadness. To turn to the word instead of addiction. To cultivate loving friendships and inspire others has been my biggest wish. Seeing all these prayers come to life is a miracle. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe in the word of God. I believe Jesus suffered, died and rose again to save me from my Sin. Sin creates destruction and havoc in peoples lives. There is proof everywhere we look. Violence, unwanted pregnancy, endless suffering. God created parameters for our lives and because of our sin nature we want to rebel. When I followed my rebellion I found myself in a dark cloud of isolation. Believing the lies of the enemy created more fear, more insecurity, more heartache. I lost my soul. I lost my light. I was just fortunate enough to be aware of the destruction taking place in my life. Now I have finally given my life over to Jesus... What a miracle! After living in such destruction and seeing the result of the LOVe OF JESUS. I can never deny the reality of the work the Lord has done in my life. Jesus you are my King. I claim your promises and I bless this city. Lord we need you. Whether or not we want to admit it Lord we need you. Please reveal yourself to those who don't know you. Lord my prayer today, Bring Revival to this City! Thank you for your Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness and Love. I will worship you till the end of my days. Amen.
