Peace in the storm

 Life …. 

It never seems to go as planned.

 I’ve learned that especially recently. One moment everything feels okay-even good- and the next its like, “What in the world just happened?”

So what’s the real question here?

How do we find peace in the middle of the all this?

2 Timothy 1:7 say’s ,

“ For God hat not given us the sprit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.” 

Fear does not come from God.

The enemy loves when we live in worry. He thrives when we are anxious and overwhelmed. But God gives us power when we feel weak. Love when we feel alone. And a sound mind when our thoughts are spiraling.

When we hold onto worry, we’re giving the enemy room to grow louder. But when we bring our fears to God in prayer, something shifts. Peace doesn’t always remove the storm — but it anchors us in the middle of it.

So why keep carrying what God is willing to take from us?

There have been nights recently where my thoughts wouldn’t quite down…

I’ve prayed. I’ve read my Bible. I’ve done what i know to do.

And to be honest…the thoughts didn’t always disappear instantly.

But God calmed them.

They didn’t control me the way they wanted to.

And most of all, i found peace in Him.

Not because the storm stopped. But because I remembered Who was in it with me.

So tonight I’ll leave you with this my dear friends:

Have yo placed everything into Gods hands?

Have you prayed— not just quickly— but truly surrendered it?

You’ll find peace in God.

Peace isn’t the absence of anxiety. It’s the presence of God in the middle of it. Just remember that anxiety may knock— but it doesn’t get to move in.

Trauma

Trauma? We always talk about Trauma. But have actually and I mean actually gone through Trauma ? I mean Jesus literally had 9 inch nails in his hands and feet he was whipped he’s flesh peeling from his body he went through it all and for what?? He went through it so we could have everlasting life also mind you he is half man so he’s felt everything we humans feel yet he still died for us . He never said “ oh I’m sorry I can’t because of my trauma NO he went on yes we have trauma I will never deny that but if we just call upon the Lord Jesus Christ for Strength,Guidance,patience,wisdom,reassurance. Will I look at trauma a little bit differently now yes of course only because my own trauma WILL NEVER compare to his .  Verse to this message is  Philippians 4:13  For I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me..  Written by- Kat Marshall

When Faith Feels Quite

                      When Faith Feels Quite  What do we do when Faith feel's quiet? do we go astray or do we stay quiet, calm in the storm? Sometimes it’s hard to stay grounded when life tries to shake your Faith. But we always have the Lord Jesus Christ. He will never leave us nor forsake us he says that in the Bible (Hebrews 13:5) KJV. He never promised that life would be easy. Life is hard. Sometimes nothing seems to go right. But Jesus is ALWAYS there- even when it feels quite.we are called to trust him. To believe in him. To lean on him. So I’ll tell you this, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ- pray, pray, pray 🙏. It’s the most powerful thing you could ever do. We may not have immediate answers. We may not see results right away. But they always come in time. We may grow tired and weak- and that’s normal. Rest, my dear friends. Lay your worries, stress, emotions at the feet of Jesus. Breathe. Let yourself melt int...

Why does faith come to a dead end?

 Why does faith come to a dead end ? We all wonder why our faith sometimes fizzles out. But why do we let it happen? We go to church and feel that wonderful pull— the urge to as God to forgive us, to draw closer to Him. We attend regularly… and then one service, something comes up. We don’t go. Then it becomes,” I’ll go next time.” And before we know it, we’re stuck in a vicious cycle. But why do even let it get that far? There is spiritual warfare. God allows test to see what we will do. Sometimes we pass. Sometimes we don’t. And the enemy? He wants nothing more than to pull us away. Let’s be honest— time is running out. The stronger our faith becomes, the closer we grow to God — and the more the enemy will try to attack. That’s why we must stay rooted. Stay church. Stay in community. Church friends matter. When we feel like we’re slipping away, they can help pull us back. We are saved by grace through faith — not by something shallow or temporary.  So what is our purpose? Ou...
