  1. Thanks so much for having me! It’s wonderful to share what God is teaching me to encourage others. 🙂 I appreciate all you do to further God’s kingdom!

  2. I love that you let Emily share some wisdom on your site Alisa. This is so good and I have found after I left my cushy executive level job to pursue life in ministry that she is SPOT ON! 🙂

  3. This is so true! The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy so we must be on alert. Thank you for this encouraging post.

  4. Hi Emily. You address an important point that we can get caught up in and shot down by things that just aren’t true. It’s great that you suggest knowing the Bible and (I infer) trusting God’s plan that He put in our hearts. I remember a passage that Peggy Bodde referred to (Psalm 119) in her post about living through difficulties where God determined His plan for us even before we were born. Since this is true, we know He will unfold that plan as we listen. Thank you for those pot..

  5. So fun to see Emily writing here today! I love the tip to write scripture. I use writing scripture to help me soak it in, but haven’t used it while feeling this way, to force out lies. What a great way to He the resources God gives for His glory!

  6. Hi Emily!!
    I tried to leave a comment on your site too, but was suspected as a bot again. :/
    Such great encouragement, Emily! And how fun to see you over at Alisa’s!!
    Walking in faith is rarely ever easy, (at least not for me anyway). It takes risk, courage, and trust. It’s so frustrating how Satan can so easily cause us to doubt God’s plan and purpose for us!
    Focusing upward and keeping our eyes on Jesus, is the best thing we can do when doubt or confusion begins to creep in. So glad you followed the Lord’s call!!

    1. Sorry about that, Rachel! My anti-spam can be frustrating at times! You’re so right – following Jesus when we don’t know the plan is a difficult thing. I’m glad this encouraged you, and I hope you’re able to walk forward each day with confidence!

    For many years on my heart to support
    The good news reaching the pesecuted church
    Just recently i found nyself getting so frustrated anxious i know god is wanting me to let go ….although i take care of my husband i have drifted from spending quality time in the bible giving me scripture to sttrengthen me a slid back wards i try to encourge my husband who is a christian but feel im wearing myself out
    And whilst caring about family i need to learn to let go trust god more
    To do that i know i need to come back and meditate on his word as the anxiety got worst i recall your words loudly the enemy comes to steal kill distroy and found myself burnt out instead of reading praying his word i had got stuck in over worryijg
    Causing me to doubt fear more than trust
    I felt by reading your words i need to be able to empty myself out to god keep surrendering these cares to god
    I had list my peace joy that comes from that intimacy with god wasting time in judt being busy busy the frustration grew i remember the words a divided heart caught up with the cares of the world gid cares about my family but fill a pull om my heart to let them go into his hand and pursue what is reallly in my heart i get such a delight in supporting the ministry of releasing the gospel where its most needed ..but had come put of the zoom meetings for India because i waant sure about leaving my husband for that time
    I remember saying lord i need to get to the next bible study and i have been to church a few times but its so easy as you say to become isolated and i need to be with other belivers too i miss that and do get confused now wondering if its safe to leave my husband god has given me the grace to go amd my husband has been ok
    Dear lord please forgive me for being double minded and also carrying burdens i cant carry anymore i have neglected your word ask the holy spirts help to get my mind back on to your word
    I remember the hymn turn your eyes upon Jesus look into his wonderful face and the cares of the world will grow slowly dim in the sight if his glorious face so thars my prayer for myself for my family they too would have their own personel encounter with Jesus dear lord please help me to return to your word encorage myself
    Maybe like David the psalms flood my mind with your light lord Jesus sttengthen me from within be the person you made me to be letting go letting go lord help me trust you with ALL my anxieties let you be the treasure in my heart thank you lord
