Week 39

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, SO THAT we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I hope and pray that God will bless every word read with grace. I hope His beauty shines through- I pray that the Holy Spirit is presented clearly, and that this is committed to bringing glory to God's kingdom. I pray that He continues to break down my walls and His sweet voice speaks through a southern girl's silly journal.

When I'm under "attack" my go to defense is to whisper "Jesus" until my heart is filled with trust, confidence, and love. His name holds power. It holds submission. Jesus is victorious and the enemy is defeated through His sweet sacrifice. Amazing Grace.

God, thank You for these 39 weeks.
Thank You for bringing me here.
Thank You for overwhelming me right here in my living room- every week.
Thank You for protecting this time with You.
Thank You for using little ole me.
You are perfect God. You exceed my expectations every time and I'm sorry for limiting your power.
God unleash Your greatness to Your people and grant us with understanding, blessing, and guidance. Lord don't ever let us get numb to your love. Jesus continue to fill our days with You. You are all we need.
