When I reflect on the challenges I've faced in life, I realize that there's more to be thankful for than to worry about. Events that could have taken my life and left me sorrowful, even fallen, remind me that God was present to deliver me and give me victory.
Many of us have endured a lot this year, and with just a few weeks left before the new year, my prayer for us all is that God will deliver our souls from death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from stumbling.
In a world filled with temptations, distractions, and deceptions, we will not fall spiritually or morally. Even in moments of weakness and vulnerability, the mercy and grace of the Lord will see us through.
What was meant to be a stumbling block will become stepping stones into our destiny. Those who wish for our downfall will live to see us rising and them falling. We will walk and not faint, run and not be weary. We will excel, triumph, and overcome in life.
Emotional pain and sorrow are not our portion. Even when we shed tears, they won't be tears of sorrow and pain but tears of joy and thanksgiving to God for His goodness and faithfulness.
What was meant to cause us harm and sorrow, the Lord will turn for our good. In the face of adversity and trouble, we won't become victims but victors.
We shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord. The covenant God has with us is not one of death but of life and peace. Our lives won't be cut short. The sun will not smite us by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will preserve our souls from all evil, and we shall live to see the goodness of God in the land of the living.
We shall eat the fruit of our labor. We shall be happy, and it shall be well with us. We shall live to see our children's children. No good thing will wither in our hands, and everything we undertake will prosper.
May the Lord deliver your soul from death, your eyes from tears, and your feet from stumbling.
