“I think about being a child and at how free we are..with our lives..with what we say..to how we think..to what we do..we know who we are..Amen..and we have so much confidence to literally being anything we want to be in our lives..Amen..but somehow in the midst of growing up..becoming teenagers..young adults..to even grown adults..we lost who we were..we lost our voice..we lost our confidence..we lost our laughter..our joy..our self-esteem..somehow became these people that have no sense of purpose..no sense of self-worth..somehow we ended thinking we are not good enough..we’re not pretty enough..we’re not smart enough..talented enough..so we sit down and we quit..we think about what others have said..what others think..we think about the words that have been spoken..Proverbs 18:21..and somehow they get to be real..and we get to believing those words..and somehow in and of that we lost us..we lost that smart, talented, confident young adult..we lost the dreams..the hopes..we lost ourselves in those words..and we began to sink in the ship of misery..and doubt..and what’s so sad is even not today in many lives of adults..they never have reached their full potential to who they can be..to who the Lord made them to be..Amen!”

“Somehow the voices that have been spoken over them have stopped them in their tracks..and they never pursued..they never finished..they just believed and began to doubt themselves..listening to the lies of the enemy..other than hearing the voice of God..Gods truth speaking over them and their lives..Amen..and that to me is the saddest thing ever..because words are the worst..and people will kill others just by their words they speak..and for many those words have stolen away their lives..their confidence..their ability to believe in themselves that they can do all things through Christ..Philippians 4:13..Amen..they don’t believe that they can..so in their thinking they never do go on or go further..because they don’t think they can..they get froze..literally they are stopped in their own tracks..but this morning my whole heart and my whole prayer for us all is that God restores the joy of our salvation unto us..Psalm 51:12..Amen!”

“That God wipes away all those negative words of fear and doubt that have ever been spoken over us..and that if we are going to believe anything..that we choose to believe what God says about us..that we go in a new sense of purpose and direction..and that the spirit of our inner child would yet come alive once more..that God would give us that type of confidence..as to where we believe in us..that we don’t need another to build up our confidence..because we believe in ourselves and the Lord believes in us..and that will be enough..Amen..all that the Lord has made for us to be..and my prayer is that whatever it was that we wanted to do and wanted to be when we grew up..that every ounce of it all would come back into the forefront of our minds..and that once it does we grab ahold of it..all the while holding onto the Lord’s hand..and moving toward that place..doing that thing that God has equipped and enabled for us to do..being all that we can be..so today I ask the Lord to cover us all in His love..in His mercy..and in His grace..and that He alone would bring healing and deliverance over each of us and our lives..that our minds would be renewed and that our hearts would be mended and restored..Romans 12:2/Psalm 147:3..for only God can meet us where we are..so let us let the Lord heal us..and make us into everything that He desires for us to be..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
