Every time, I get to one of the places of greatest desperation,
the Lord shows me His love. He
reveals it in a way that is unique to each of His children. That night at the outstation He
expressed His love for me through the voices of teammates. Words of prayer,
encouragement, and wisdom overflowed from them and I knew that I was not
alone.
To recap the night, I will share a little excerpt from my
journal.
Last night I felt weak. I felt trapped and it was
terrifying. I CAN’T LET THE
CIRCUMSTANCES I AM IN RIGHT NOW CRIPPLE ME. It has to be about me trusting the Lord regardless of where
I am and being content in His love.
I was letting FEAR smother me instead of confessing the
TRUTH that FEAR IS NOT FROM GOD. Everything was distorted and twisted because
of the stronghold on my mind. I was unable to see clearly because the TRUTH
about the Kingdom and the goodness of God were blurred by lies. I could not
grasp a clear vision.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my
thoughts. Point out anything in me
that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”
Psalm 139: 23
fellowship this morning at 10 and after fellowship we were invited to stay in a
church building and were treated to a delicious lunch by an Indian couple,
Heera and Christy, who have been in Oenpelli for 8 years. They completely
opened there home and hearts to us. I felt a peace that could have only come from the Lord. The Lord delights when His
children persevere through uncomfort and call us to be satisfied whether living
in plenty or in want.

doubt.
Father, let me be bold and courageous for you. I repent of being anxious about my
surroundings. I must continue to
TRUST YOU and rest knowing I can’t do this on my own. I can’t stand on my own two feet. God, I know I sometimes
let fear paralyze me and I ask for forgiveness.
God, please build up my faith. Rid me of my selfish thoughts and pride.
LET ME BE OVERCOME BY YOUR LOVE AND HAVE PEACE KNOWING MY
MIND IS INCAPABLE OF FIGURING IT ALL OUT.
