May God Strengthen and Increase You

God is the great I AM. He is Jehovah Jireh, your provider. May He provide for you today and evermore. He is Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is always there. May the Lord always be there in every moment of your day. He is Jehovah Shalom, your peace. May the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. He is Jehovah Nissi, your banner. His banner over you is love. May you know and come to experience His love in a very deep and special way. He is Jehovah Rapha, your healer. If you are going through any form of pain, may He be your Healer. He is Jehovah-Raah, your Shepherd. As a shepherd watches over his sheep, may the Lord continually watch over you and protect you from any form of evil. He is Adonai, your Master and Jehovah Mekoddishkem, the Lord Who sanctifies you. May the Lord lead you and direct you, may He sanctify you and give you peace in these troubled times.

The Bible mentions God as being El-Shaddai, the many breasted One. No matter how many of His children seek Him for help, he will never deny nor turn any one away. He always has a listening ear to hear our cries. I pray at this moment in time that God will hear all your heart’s cries. God is right now listening to those deep things that you find difficult to share with someone else. My prayer is that you will trust Him enough to let go and let Him take those worries from you. He cares for you and He will never leave you nor forsake you. I feel God saying to you, “Trust Me in this, I will not let you down”.

Maybe things have not been so great lately, maybe a lot has been going wrong in your life and things are probably not working out as you hoped it would. I encourage you to calm down and take one day at a time; do not take on tomorrow’s burdens today. Learn to leave the pain and disappointment of yesterday behind and look forward to a new day. The day has a way of working itself out if only we leave things alone and not worry ourselves thin in trying to make things happen. So, I encourage you today, why don’t you let go and let God? He is able to perfect that which concerns you. Trust in Him and He will carry you through. The pain of today is for the benefit of tomorrow. He is working it all out for your good. No matter how bad things are, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep looking forward and moving forward and you will reach where the light is. Don’t give up now, God is on your side and He will not let you down. Have hope and it shall be well with you.

God bless you today and always. Weeping may endure for a moment, but your joy will come in the morning!
