When what you've done keeps you from moving on,
When fear wants to make itself home in your heart
Know that forgiveness brings wholeness & healing
God knows your need, just believe what He said
He gives beauty for ashes,
Strength for fear,
Gladness for mourning,
& peace for despair
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray! Let petitions & praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come & settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Summing it up friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds & meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious - the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned, what you heard & saw & realized. Do that & God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies! Philippians 4:6-9
My chains are gone.
I've been set free,
My God, my Savior, has ransomed me!
& like a flood, his mercy reigns,
Unending love, Amazing grace
Peter urged them over & over again saying, "Get out while you can, get out of this sick & stupid culture!" Acts 2:40
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the World by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
Worry rules my life.
Fear & anxiety & guilt & shame & panic consume me.
But I am going to overcome these things.
Not alone, but with Christ.
There is power in the blood!
