Have I not commanded you?

inhale.

Joshua 1:9
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." 

exhale.

God, I pray you would equip me with the courage and the strength to do your will. I pray that I would not be selfish and fall to needy tendencies. God I pray your presence would fill me, Your Holy Spirit would abound in my life, an aura of strength, bravery and whole heartedness.
Pray against Fear. 
Fear of comfort.
Fear of safety.
Fear of companionship. 
I pray I would be able to lean on you for all I need. I pray I would be drawn to your word and meditate on it daily. 

Praying for Quito this morning.
God spoke Joshua 1:9 to me.

I Wept.

I could barely wrap my heart and mind around how quickly God reassured me that He is my strength. He is my courage. and He is my bravery. 
He is my all in all.

His word struck my heart.
Stopped me in my tracks.
Like a knife through the chest.
Tears began to form and tears began to fall. 
I was beside myself. a deer caught in headlights.
He really hit the nail on the head with this one.

Just like the first time he spoke to me; Ten years ago. 

Here I was again.

Helpless/

&&crying out that he would send me a sign.

Words of wisdom.

Encouragement.

Anything. 

Whisper wisdom in my mind and courage to my heart. 
/Calm my heart.
/Hold my hand through these twisty roads. 
Never let go.

I need you.
I need you now.

Fear has never been so evident in my life.
How helpless I really am.
How I never realized it until now. 

Joshua 1:9
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." 

oh how I wept. 

woah is my child like soul.

and heavy is my heart.

How true and Holy you are.
How heavy is your heart to see your kingdom come and your will be done.

Oh. How heavy is my heart. 

These words they pierce the darkness' light.
Your word it comes like the dawn to day.
So pure.
So true.
So full of life.

You speak to me. 

you are my heart

you are my courage

you are my strength

you are my armour.

How blind Ive been from your waves of grace.
Wash me with your mercy, find me in your grace.

Leave my heart broken, Buried with Christ.
