We’ll Always Need God (and that’s a good thing!)

I’m just needing to remind myself and in case you do too…because as long as I have walked this recovery journey, peeling back those onion layers, there’s still a part of me that struggles with fears & staying in the moment. Especially when I’m taking another risk in places where I’ve been deeply hurt before.

When my head starts to say, “what if…“

So, what is the worst that will happen? Jesus told us, in this world we will have trouble, but for us to take heart, because He has overcome the world.

This means, yes, I will have junk to walk through – BUT I’ll never walk through anything alone. For me, to be abandoned and alone really is the worst. And it’s not gonna ever happen with Jesus on my side.

Hashtag: game changer!

So then, why do I fall into that “I’m on my own here” when that’s just not true?

Maybe it’s the old tapes? The devil’s whispering in my ears? The messages that still need to be rewritten in my wiring? (or all of it). I can’t do this life on my own. Thank you God – I don’t have to!

It’s also why my mind needs to be renewed in God’s word daily; replacing the lies with the truth.

Every. Single. Day.

It’s why we must suit up daily so that can take our stand against the enemy and his schemes.

I’ll always need healing in some form too. Even as insecurity wanes and my knowledge of who I am in Christ strengthens, I simply won’t be done until I’m done here.

So, if we remain in Him and He remains in us – as He promises – He will never leave nor forsake us, is there any reason to fear what may come? He will be with us through it all.

Oh, but then, what if – IT IS AMAZING!?! Remember, He’s always for our best interest too. He has good in store for us!

We will always need God – from sunrise to sunset to sunrise…but then, that’s His design, which is our joy! He wants us to rest in Him this way. We were made to do so.

May the peace that surpasses all understanding today, be yours and mine as we meditate on God’s promises ♥️.
