I don't know when it will be done. God has just given me complete peace that it will work out. I feel just like I did the first time I met my husband. I KNEW he was my husband. I don't know how to describe it other than a deep knowing. Like in my soul. I don't get these feelings often, but when I do they are never wrong.
I feel like that now. I can't explain it. I don't know when it will happen or how it will happen, but I know that God will win. I know that He has a plan and it will work out. It's a peace that surpasses understanding or reason. I just know.
And so I pray. I pray every single day and God continues to give me peace and confidence that He will defeat our enemies. Just like David defeated Goliath with a slingshot and a stone. Just like God helped Gideon to defeat a huge army with only 300 soldiers. Just like God parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could escape the Egyptian army. And on and on and on. All through the Bible God shows up when the situation is bleak and all hope seems lost. That's how people KNOW it's Him that's doing it and not us.
Don't lose heart! Keep the faith. Take care of your friends and family and pray.
I hope not either, but at this point it's out of my hands. All I can do is pray for God's protection during this time for all of our Patriot brothers and sisters. I do understand where you're coming from. I just can't let myself worry about things I have no control over.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
-Philippians 4:6
say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution He will come to save you.”
-Isaiah 35:4
Beautiful. I felt the same way when I met my husband. I feel similarly about this whole situation now although I will admit my faith is being severely tested.
I felt like that after the 6th. I doomed pretty hard and felt all hope was lost. But I started praying more and God has just given me such a peace about everything. I am seeing Him move mightily through this. I've gotten to talk with at least 10 atheists/agnostics that are questioning their faith and starting to seek God. I've gotten to share scripture with them, answer questions, and pray for them. It's been really incredible.
I just want to encourage you to remember that God is never late! We already know how this story ends and God wins! No matter what Satan tries, God will defeat him. One thing about God, is He loves to show off just how mighty and powerful He really is. Think about the story of Gideon. God had him send all of his army home except for 300 men. And He used those 300 men to defeat a huge army.
Little tiny David defeated the giant Goliath with a stone and a slingshot. God parted the red sea when all hope seemed lost for the Israelites. Think about what they had been through. You can't go, Plague, okay you can go. Nevermind, you can't go, Plague. etc. etc. Think about how bad things must have looked. They are finally free to go, and the Egyptian army has them surrounded and the Red Sea is before them.
God will not forsake us. Things may get a little crazy, but He will win. He said he would not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if there was even 1 righteous man. Look at how many righteous people of God are in America. My church has been bursting at the seams every Sunday. We have 3 services and people couldn't find seats this last Sunday. I hope I have encouraged you, my friend. It's all going to be okay. God has this. Our job is to pray, encourage others, speak truth, and remain faithful. <3
Thank you so much for the kind words ???? Even though I am struggling, I do still believe God wins. I have felt closer to God now than I ever have before. I recently picked up my bible for the first time in years. I appreciate the encouraging sentiments more than you know!
I'm so glad I could encourage you. I was in the same boat, my friend. I am embarrassed to say I've been pretty apathetic in my relationship with God. I lost my parents in 2017 in a truly horrific and unexpected way. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 10 years, and that is really discouraging. These trials tested my faith and honestly created some anger and sadness towards God. I just started feeling like my prayers didn't matter.
This is exactly how Satan wanted me to feel.
Finally waking up to the true evil in this world has woken up and reignited my desire to have a deep relationship with God. I realize how much I and the world truly need Him. It was like seeing the depths of evil that exist really showed how much we need God.
My spiritual gift is exhortation, but it's really difficult to encourage others when feeling so discouraged. It's the #1 way Satan attacks me. If I feel discouraged, I can't use the spiritual gifts that God has given me. It's like I've woken up to what Satan has been doing and I see how I've been letting him win. Now I know what to fight against and where I need God to help me. God has been encouraging me through this, and it feels so good to be able to encourage and love on other people again. We are all going through this uncertain time, together. WWG1WGA :)
I just want you to know that God loves you and I love you as my sister in Christ. Never hesitate to message me if you ever want to talk or pray or anything. <3

I know God will win. I just hope no God Loving, Gun Toting, Republicans are hurt by the Lunatic Democrats on their Quest for Power.
they would have to break through the armor of god for that to happen. theres just no way they will succeed.
