Resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, fear of the future, guilt of the past, grief over loss, insecurity, and a lack of confidence are all emotions that Satan sends to torment the believer. Do not give in! You are a child of the King, you are royalty, and you are loved by God. You are unique, so refuse to let Satan make you feel insignificant because that is just the opposite of what you are.
In spite of all that you’ve seen, and all that you’ve done, God looks you, and if you have accepted His son Jesus Christ, He calls you His child. He calls you His own. He calls you His son. He calls you His daughter. He reaches down and He embraces you with the loving arms that a father would wrap around His very own. He says, “I have chosen you. You are mine and I am yours.”
What is hope? It’s not wishful thinking. We all have wishes for ourselves, for other people, and for the future. Wishes are our perception of what we think would be best for us. Our belief that it would satisfy us. When you look in the pages of God’s Word, it is not a wish book. Wishing is a feeling. The Word of God is a fact.
Now, Father, bless them and keep them; let Your mercy that is renewed every morning shower down upon them through Your grace which is sufficient. Sustain them each and every step of the journey, and let the hindrances that they bring to You be destroyed in the mighty name of Jesus. And every stronghold, that in any way, keeps them from achieving their destiny, be demolished in the mighty name of the King of glory. Father, let them walk from victory to victory and joy to joy because they are the triumphant, redeemed children of the King. In Your mighty name, we pray and ask and receive this blessing.
