I choose to watch or listen to the news once each
day and even that experience can be overwhelming. I grow discouraged in my
spirit. We hear the stories of violence around the world, of perpetrators who
have no regard for life, the barrage of slanderous remarks, one against the
other, plus the unending reports of overdoses. My spirit groans in sorrow.
How can we be about doing our Father’s work if our spirits
are inundated with the darkness of this world?
I am a Warrior Princess of the Most High God, having
accepted the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. My eyes, from morning to night, are focused on
Jesus. He dwells within me, and I search for opportunities to penetrate this
dark world with His Light.
This world is indeed broken and this breaks God’s
heart. According to His Word, He desires His people, all who proclaim Jesus as
their Savior, to bring Hope into the world. When you feel overwhelmed by the
darkness of this world, focus on God’s Word, recalling His promises. Set aside
time each day to commune with God in prayer and silence, allowing Him to speak
to your heart. He is faithful and will
reveal His path to you. Then, take action!
When our hearts are filled with God’s hope, we will
be His hands and feet in our communities and around the world, singing His
praises and sharing His love.
Father,
have Your way with us. Fill us beyond our wildest expectations with Your love
and direct us into our communities so we may abundantly pour out Your love,
hope and peace.

Very nice job. It takes us from thoughts of a troubled world to the answer in our Lord.
