WHEN GOD ANOINTS DAVID TO BE THE KING OF ISRAEL, NAGHINTAY SIYA AT DINAAN SIYA DIYOS SA PROSESO.

He waited for How many Years before He became the King of Israel.

Hindi si David dumaan sa Shortcut bago siya naging hari ng Israel Sa halip ay nagsimula siya sa maliit at unti-unti siyang inangat ng Diyos.

Ano ba ang pinagdaanan ni David at saan siya nagsimula bago siya naging Hari ng Israel.

๐Ÿ“UNA! SIYA PO AY NAGPAPASTOL NG MGA TUPA! (1 Samuel 16:11)

๐Ÿ“PANGALAWA! HABANG SIYA PO AY NAGPAPASTOL NG TUPA, NA PROMOTE SIYA BILANG MANUNUGTOG NI HARING SAUL! (MULTITASKING SI DAVID ,Dalawa na ang Trabaho ni David) (1 Samuel 16:16-19)

๐Ÿ“PANGATLO! HABANG SIYA PO AY NAGPAPASTOL NG TUPA, NAGING MANUNUGTOG NI HARING SAUL, SIYA RIN PO AY GINAWANG TAGAPAGDALA NG SANDATA NI HARING SAUL (MULTITASKING ULIT SI DAVID, This time Tatlo na ang trabaho niya) (1 Samuel 16:21-23)

Take note po kapatid, from isa naging 3 na ang work ni David at Still David is Very Responsible and Hands On! he Manage to do it all!

Patunay:
1 Samuel 17:14-15
[14]Habang sila'y kasama ni Saul, ang bunso namang si David
[15]ay pabalik-balik kay Saul at sa Bethlehem para alagaan ang mga tupa ng kanyang ama.

๐Ÿ“PANG-APAT! NAGING TAGAHATID DIN PO SIYA NG PAGKAIN NG KANYANG MGA KAPATID AT NI HARING SAUL HABANG SILA AY NASA DIGMAAN (MULTITASKING again si Haring David, 4 na po ang trabaho niya)

1 Samuel 17:20a
David. Ipinagbilin niya sa iba ang mga tupang inaalagaan at nagpunta sa lugar ng labanan, dala ang pagkaing ipinabibigay ng kanyang ama.

๐Ÿ“PANG-LIMA! SIYA RIN PO AY NAGING ISANG WARRIOR! ( MULTITASKING talaga si Haring David, 5 na po ang kanyang ginagawa.)

1 Samuel 17:28,32
28Narinig ni Eliab, ang panganay na kapatid ni David ang pakikipag-usap niya sa mga kawal. Nagalit ito kay David at sinabi, โ€œAnong ginagawa mo rito? At kanino mo iniwan ang iilang tupa na pinapaalagaan sa iyo? Alam ko kung anong nasa isip mo! Gusto mo lang manood ng labanan.โ€
32Pagdating kay Saul, sinabi ni David, โ€œHindi po tayo dapat masiraan ng loob dahil lang sa Filisteong iyon. Ako po ang lalaban sa kanya.โ€

๐Ÿ“PANG-ANIM! SIYA PO AY NAGING PINUNO NG MGA KAWAL! (MULTITASKING parin si David po nito, at mas lumaki na ang kanyang Responsibilities araw-araw)

1 Samuel 18:5,10a
Nagtatagumpay si David kahit saang labanan siya ipadala ni Saul, kaya siya'y ginawa nitong pinuno ng mga kawal. Ang pagkataas niya sa tungkulin ay ikinagalak ng buong Israel, mula sa pangkaraniwang mamamayan hanggang sa mga opisyal sa palasyo.
10Kinabukasan, si Saul ay muling ginambala ng masamang espiritu at naging parang baliw. Kaya, tinugtog ni David ang kanyang alpa, tulad ng ginagawa niya araw-araw.

๐Ÿ“PANG-PITO! NAGING HARI NA PO SI DAVID NG ISRAEL!

2 Samuel 5:3
Lahat ng pinuno ng Israel ay nagpunta nga sa Hebron at doo'y nakipagkasundo sa kanya sa harapan ni Yahweh. Binuhusan nila ng langis si David at kinilalang hari sa Israel.

Grabe po yung pinagdaanan ni David! Before He became the King of Israel!
1. Pastol ng Tupa
2. Manunugtog ng Alpa
3. Tagapagdala ng Sandata
4. Tagapaghatid ng Pagkain
5. Mandirigma
6. Pinuno ng mga Kawal
7. King Of Israel

TUNAY na dumaan Siya sa PROSESO!

Kaya kapatid, nawaโ€™y maging aral sa atin ang buhay na Haring David, Na kahit tinawag ka Ng DIYOS, Hindi ka Pwedeng Magshortcut, Kailangan dumaan sa Proseso! At Kapag tinawag ka Ng DIYOS mag respond ka, At siguradong idadaan ka Ng DIYOS sa Proseso para magampanan mo Ang PAGKATAWAG Niya Sayo.

Kaya Yung Mga pinagdadaanan natin Ngayon, Ay ipagpasalamat NATIN sa DIYOS dahil Yan po ay way Ng Lord para Hubugin Ang Character at Life natin para malakaran NATIN Ng maayos Ang PAGKATAWAG Niya sa atin.

Kaya Kapatid, Kailangan mapagkakatiwalaan Tayo sa Maliit upang mapagkatiwalaan Tayo sa Malaki.

Nasusulat:
Lucas 16:10
[10]Ang mapagkakatiwalaan sa maliit na bagay ay mapagkakatiwalaan din sa malaking bagay; ang mandaraya sa maliit na bagay ay mandaraya rin sa malaking bagay.

God bless everyone! ๐Ÿ’—

May eksena na lahat tayo naka-relate.
Ikaw โ€˜yung taong todo effort. Ikaw โ€˜yung laging nag-aadjust. Ikaw โ€˜yung laging naghihintay ng reply, ng assurance, ng label, ng pagbabago. Tapos sasabihin mo sa sarili mo, โ€œSiguro kailangan ko lang pang mas galingan.โ€

Pero tanong lang.
Pag ba galing kay God, ganito ba talaga ka-stress?

Aminin natin. Lalaki man o babae, single o kasal, may phase tayo na akala natin faith โ€˜yung pagpupumilit. Na akala natin prayer โ€˜yung kakahabol. Na akala natin patience โ€˜yung pagtitiis sa bagay na malinaw namang draining na.

Dito ako natuto ng mahirap na lesson.
Kung talagang galing kay God, hindi ka Niya pauubusin. Hindi ka Niya paiikutin sa tanong kung saan ka lulugar. Hindi ka Niya ilalagay sa sitwasyon na kailangan mong ipaglaban ang respeto, oras, at katotohanan araw-araw.

Kapag sinabing โ€œhuwag maghabol,โ€ iniisip ng iba, upo na lang, hintay na lang, bahala na si Lord. Hindi rin ganun.

May difference ang initiative sa desperation.
May difference ang obedience sa control.

Si Ruth, gumalaw.
Si David, humarap sa battlefield.
Pero wala sa kanila ang namilit sa hindi pa oras.

Kung kailangan mong pilitin ang isang tao, isang relasyon, isang season para lang mag-stay, baka hindi โ€˜yan alignment. Baka attachment lang.

Grace cannot sustain what God did not author.
You might catch it briefly, yes.
Pero hindi lahat ng nahawakan ay meant to be held forever.

Para sa single na pagod na kakahintay.
Para sa mag-asawang paulit-ulit na nag-aaway dahil sa parehong issue.
Para sa partner na feeling mag-isa kahit may kasama.

What is from God may stretch you, but it will not shrink you.
It may challenge you, but it will not constantly confuse you.
It may require sacrifice, but it will not require self-betrayal.

Alignment attracts.
Trust positions.
Obedience preserves.

Pero responsibilidad mo pa ring maglakad.
Hindi ka hahabulin ng para saโ€™yo, pero hahanapin ka nito sa tamang version mo.

So bago ka ulit maghabol, maghintay, o magpumilit, tanungin mo muna sarili mo.
Tahimik ba โ€˜to o magulo?
May peace ba kahit mahirap?
O nauubos na ako para lang manatili?

Kung may na-hit saโ€™yo dito, youโ€™re not alone.
Minsan, may mga usapang mas okay pag tahimik, mas personal, mas totoo. At oo, may mga pagkakataong napapansin ko โ€˜yung mga naglalaan ng extra support, at minsan nauuwi โ€˜yan sa mas meaningful na conversations and shared stories.

Kung nandito ka pa hanggang dulo, baka sign na โ€˜to na this space is for you. Stay close. Thereโ€™s always more when you choose to listen deeper. ๐Ÿ’—

Ang relasyon ay tawag para sa espirituwal na pag-unlad. ๐ŸŒป

Kadalasan, hindi natin agad naiintindihan kung bakit ang dami nating pinagdadaanan bilang mag-partnerโ€ฆ
Sa relasyon, sa pamilya, sa pera, sa pag-aalaga, pati sa lakad natin sa Panginoon.

Pero ngayon ko mas naunawaan: ang relasyon ay isang tawag.

Hindi lang ito tungkol sa saya โ€” kahit may saya.
Hindi ito tungkol sa paghahanap ng perpektong tao โ€” kundi pagiging mas tulad ng ating perpektong Tagapagligtas.
Isa itong imbitasyon mula sa Diyos para sabay tayong lumago kay Cristo.

Sinusubok ang ating ugali, pasensya, pag-ibig, tiwala, at kaya nating magsakripisyo.
Hinuhubog tayo sa apoy ng araw-araw na buhay โ€” sa maliliit na desisyon, mahihirap na pag-uusap, puyat, at walang katapusang responsibilidad.

Kaya kung may pinagdadaanan kayo ngayon bilang mag-partner, baka hindi kayo pinaparusahan.
Baka pinalalago kayo.

Tinuturuan Niya kayong magmahal kahit mahirap.
Magpatawad kahit masakit.
Maglingkod kahit pagod.
Magtiwala kahit hindi malinaw ang daan.
Manalangin kahit hindi na alam ang sasabihin.

Imbes na maubos sa pagtatalo, gamitin sa pag-luhod.
Imbes na makita kung ano ang kulang sa partner mo, tingnan kung ano ang ginagawa ng Diyos โ€” sa'yo, sa kanya, at sa inyong dalawa.

Hindi ito pabigat โ€” kundi biyayang nakatago.
Ang relasyon ninyo ay banal na lupa, kung saan dalawang taong hindi perpekto ang sabay na hinuhubog upang maging mas tulad ni Jesus.

Kaya huwag sumuko.
Huwag tumigas ang puso.
Huwag paniwalaang bigo ka.

Hinuhubog ka.
Pinalalakas ka.
Pinasasanto kayong dalawa.

Panginoon, tulungan Mo kami.
Tulungan Mo kaming lumago kung saan Mo kami itinanim.
Tulungan Mo kaming magmahal tulad ng pag-ibig Mo.
Tulungan Mo kaming makita ang relasyon hindi bilang problemang aayusin, kundi tawag na dapat tuparin โ€” para sa Iyong kaluwalhatian.

Hindi ka nag-iisa.
Kasama ninyo ang Diyos โ€” at may magandang hinuhubog Siya sa gitna ng pinagdadaanan ninyo. ๐Ÿ’—

So often, we say God is our priorityโ€ฆ
but our patterns tell another story.

We give Him whatโ€™s left after the day drains us.
Whatโ€™s left after we scroll, worry, strive, and try to fix things on our own.
Whatโ€™s left after weโ€™ve exhausted every option, then we pray.
Then we seek Him.
Then we surrender.

But beloved, God was never meant to be the emergency contact of our spiritual life.
He is the Source, our beginning, not our backup.

When God becomes the first One you run to, your heart finds alignment.
Your days gain direction.
Your decisions gain clarity.
Your spirit gains peace.

Because when God is first,
He orders what feels chaotic.
He strengthens what feels weak.
He guides what feels confusing.
He fills what feels empty.

So ask yourself gently today:
Is God my first thought or my last resort?
Am I giving Him my best or my leftovers?

And if the answer convicts you, donโ€™t feel condemned, feel invited.
Invited back into deeper intimacy,
into dependence,
into the safety of His presence.

Give God your firstโ€ฆ
and watch how He faithfully takes care of everything else ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

08/12/2025

There is a tender comfort in remembering that God sees every longing tucked inside your heart. He knows the dreams you hold privately, the hopes you barely speak aloud, the prayers you whisper in the quiet hours of the night. Nothing you desire is invisible to Him. Nothing you hope for is dismissed. Nothing you cry out for is ignored. God is not indifferent to your heartโ€”He is deeply attentive to it.

And because He knows your desires so intimately, He also knows when and how to bring them to pass. He is never late, though the waiting may feel long. He is never early, though your impatience may plead for quick answers. He moves with intention, precision, and perfect timing. What feels delayed to you is being prepared by Him. What feels silent to you is being shaped behind the scenes. What feels stagnant to you is actually aligning according to a divine plan you cannot yet see.

God will give you the desires of your heart when the time is right.
Not when you wish, not when it fits your schedule, not when your emotions demand itโ€”but when the blessing will grow you, not break you. When the opportunity will elevate you, not overwhelm you. When the relationship will bless you, not distract you. When the miracle will strengthen your faith, not inflate your pride. Godโ€™s timing is protective. His timing is wise. His timing ensures that the blessing He gives becomes something you can carry with maturity, gratitude, and purpose.

Sometimes God withholds something not because youโ€™re unworthy, but because He is preparing a version of the blessing that is far better than what you imagined. Other times, He is preparing youโ€”stretching your faith, deepening your character, increasing your resilience, softening your heart, or teaching you how to trust Him beyond your understanding. The delay is never punishment; it is preparation.

He hears your prayersโ€”every single one.
Even the ones you pray quietly.
Even the ones you think are too small.
Even the ones you repeat over and over.
Even the ones wrapped in tears instead of words.
Your prayers donโ€™t disappear into the air; they rise before the throne of a God who listens with compassion. His silence is not absence. His stillness is not neglect. His waiting is not denial.

If you could see what God is arranging for you, protecting you from, and positioning you toward, you wouldnโ€™t rush His timingโ€”you would praise Him for it.

But the hardest part of faith isnโ€™t believing God can do something.
Itโ€™s trusting Him when youโ€™re not sure when He will.
Itโ€™s staying patient when your heart is ready now.
Itโ€™s staying hopeful when nothing seems to be changing.
Itโ€™s surrendering your timeline to His perfect plan.

And so the reminder comes gently:
Be patient. Trust Him.
Because patience is not passiveโ€”it is active faith. It is choosing to believe that God is still working, still moving, still listening, still planning, and still guiding even when your circumstances show no signs of progress. Trust is what holds you steady when emotions try to pull you into fear or discouragement.

This waiting season is not wasted. It is shaping you.
It is teaching you how to depend on God in deeper ways.
It is developing strength, wisdom, humility, and gratitude in you.
It is preparing you for the very thing you are praying for.

And when God finally brings the desire of your heart into your lifeโ€”when the prayer becomes reality, when the door opens, when the opportunity arrivesโ€”everything will make sense. You will see why He made you wait, why He rearranged certain things, why He closed some paths, and why He took you the long way around. You will realize that His timing was not just goodโ€”it was perfect.

So hold on. Stay patient. Remain faithful.
Keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep believing.

God will give you the desires of your heart when the time is right.
He hears your prayersโ€”every single one.
Just keep trusting Him, because He is working even now,
and what He has planned for you will arrive right on time. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—

08/12/2025

Weโ€™re all waiting for something. And weโ€™re all waiting for different lengths of time.

Some are waiting for something big,
a breakthrough, a turning point,
an answer to prayers that feel ancient.
Some are waiting for something specific,
a promotion, an increase,
finally getting that one guest
to say โ€œyesโ€ after countless invites.
Some are waiting for a diploma,
a degree, or a certain person
theyโ€™ve been praying for through the years.

These things may differ,
but they all highlight one truth,
WE ARE ALL WAITERS.

And in Genesis 29,
we meet one of the most famous
waiters in the Bible, Jacob.

When he was told he needed
to serve Laban for seven years
before marrying Rachel,
he didnโ€™t even flinch.

Verse 20 even says
those years felt like days to him.

Why?

Jacob knew what (and WHO/ he was doing this for.

From the start, Jacob was laser-focused.
He didnโ€™t get distracted by Labanโ€™s wealth.
He didnโ€™t negotiate for land or livestock.
He stayed with the instruction his father gave,
โ€œGo and find a wife from there.โ€

Surprisingly, the deceiver
didnโ€™t deceive this time.
He obeyed.

And honestly, we're like that too.
We often let our desires,
emotions, and timing deceive us.
We forget our Fatherโ€™s will,
then wonder why we feel lost.

But like Jacob, the question is this,
Will we stick to the Fatherโ€™s instructions,
or will we chase our own?

Also, Jacob wasnโ€™t simply a waiter,
he was a servant.

We always hear how patient Jacob was.
How his 7 years doubled to 14.
How he endured being deceived.

But the Lord reminded me today,
Thereโ€™s more to Jacobโ€™s waiting than patience.

Jacob was blessed in the waiting
because he served in the waiting.
He wasnโ€™t idle.
He wasnโ€™t passive.
He wasnโ€™t daydreaming
his way through the delay.

Jacob worked. He served.
He stewarded what was in front of him.
He didnโ€™t treat waiting as a pause,
he treated it as an assignment.

Because a waiterโ€™s job is not just to wait.
A waiterโ€™s job, is to serve.

And maybe youโ€™re in your own
waiting room right now.
Maybe it feels long.
Maybe it feels unfair.
Maybe it feels endless.

But this is where we all stand
on common ground,
We are all waiters,
and waiters are meant to serve.

Serve where you are.
Serve with what you have.
Serve even when youโ€™re still waiting
for what you prayed for.

In Godโ€™s kingdom,
waiting is never wasted,
because while you wait, He works.
And while you serve, He strengthens. ๐Ÿ’—

08/12/2025

Why was David called a man after Godโ€™s own heart? Not because he was flawless. Not because he lived perfectly. Not because he never failed, because truthfully, David failed terribly. He stumbled in sin, he broke Godโ€™s laws, he wounded people, and he carried the weight of consequences that left scars on his soul.

And yetโ€ฆ God looked at him and said, โ€œThis is a man after My own heart.โ€ Why? Because even in Davidโ€™s darkest chapters, his heart kept turning back to God. When he fell, he didnโ€™t run away, he ran toward the God he had offended. When he sinned, he didnโ€™t hide, he cried out, โ€œCreate in me a clean heart, O God.โ€

When he was broken, he didnโ€™t pretend, he worshiped with tears on his face. When he was pursued, betrayed, forgotten, and misunderstood, he chose God as his refuge. When he held a crown, he never let it replace the God who placed it on his head.

David wasnโ€™t called a man after Godโ€™s own heart because he was perfect. He was called that because God was his first love. His deepest desire. His hiding place. His answer. His song in the night. His Shepherd in the valley. His glory and the lifter of his head when he felt small. His strength when he felt weak.

David loved God more than his victories and more than his failures. He worshiped in the pasture long before he ever worshiped in the palace. He was more moved by Godโ€™s presence than by his own position. He would rather lose everything than lose Godโ€™s nearness.

And maybe thatโ€™s the lesson for usโ€ฆ itโ€™s not about how spotless your record is, itโ€™s about how surrendered your heart is. Itโ€™s not about getting it right all the time, itโ€™s about returning to God every time. Itโ€™s not about perfection, itโ€™s about direction. A heart pointed toward Him. A soul that keeps choosing Him. A spirit that says in both triumph and trembling, โ€œLord, You are my portion.โ€

Davidโ€™s greatness wasnโ€™t in his sling, his songs, or his throne. His greatness was in this: he wanted God more than he wanted anything else.

Oh, to be like David, not flawless, not famous, but passionately devotedโ€ฆ a heart that beats in rhythm with the Fatherโ€™s.

Thereโ€™s a different kind of longing that sits deeper than romance,
Itโ€™s the longing to have a partner whose heart bows before God first.

Someone who doesnโ€™t just hold your hand, but holds the faith with you.

Someone who doesnโ€™t just love you, but leads you closer to Jesus.

Iโ€™m not praying for perfection.
Iโ€™m praying for alignment,
For someone whose knees touch the ground in prayer
before their feet run to the world.

Because worship is deeper when two hearts bend before the same God.

And so I pray:
"Lord, if it is Your will, grant me someone whom I can worship You with, someone I can serve You with, grow with, and honor You with.
Prepare me for them, and prepare them for me.
Not in my timing, but in Yours.โ€

The Word reminds me:

โ€œDelight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.โ€ โ€” Psalm 37:4

โ€œTwo are better than oneโ€ฆ for if they fall, one will lift up the other.โ€ - Ecclesiastes 4:9โ€“10

โ€œIn all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.โ€ โ€” Proverbs 3:6

"What God has joined together, let no one separate.โ€โ€” Mark 10:9

I donโ€™t chase love! I chase God,
and trust Him to bring the person who will walk beside me in faith.

Until then, Lord, keep my heart steady, my worship pure,
and my eyes fixed on You.

Sometimes the longing to belong becomes louder than the call to be holy. We chase people who were never meant to stay, hold on to relationships that dim the light in us, and fight for friendships that slowly pull our hearts away from God. We tell ourselves, โ€œAt least Iโ€™m not alone.โ€ But deep inside, we know, we feel, that quiet, piercing whisper of the Holy Spirit: โ€œLet it go. This is costing you your holiness.โ€

And thatโ€™s the painful truth: Sometimes what feels like belonging is actually bo***ge. Sometimes what comforts your loneliness is slowly killing your soul. Sometimes the people you want the most are the very ones God is trying to protect you from.

Holiness will always require surrender. It will always ask you to release something you thought you couldnโ€™t live without. But God never takes without giving. He never prunes without purpose. He never asks you to walk away from someone unless Heโ€™s leading you closer to Himself.

If the relationship makes you sin more than it makes you seek God, If the friendship dims your convictions more than it strengthens your faith, If being with them means losing the part of you God is trying to redeem, then itโ€™s not belonging. Itโ€™s compromise.

And God loves you too much to let you stay in whatโ€™s slowly destroying you. Letting go hurts. But losing your holiness in God hurts far more. Choose what draws you to Jesus, not what draws you back to the old you.

You donโ€™t need to force a place where God has clearly said, โ€œYou donโ€™t belong there anymore.โ€ You belong in the light. You belong in holiness. You belong to Him.

If you have to lose God to keep someone, that someone was never meant for you.

Holiness will cost you people, but it will never cost you peace. Letting go isnโ€™t rejection, sometimes itโ€™s Godโ€™s protection wrapped in pain ๐Ÿ’—

Let me be honest: Overthinking isnโ€™t just a habitโ€”itโ€™s a spiritual battle. And you keep losing because you try to fight it with your mind instead of on your knees.

You say you trust God, yet you let every fear guide you.
You claim God is in control, yet you replay endless โ€œwhat-ifsโ€ as if the universe depends on your planning.

The hard truth:
Overthinking is writing your own painful story instead of trusting the beautiful plan God has already written.
You torture yourself over situations God never intended.
You stress over doors He has already promised to open.
You worry about storms Jesus has already calmed.

Hear this with love but with strength:
Overthinking hands the enemy a microphone in your mind.
Silence wonโ€™t win the battleโ€”surrender will.

You canโ€™t defeat overthinking by thinking harder.
You defeat it by trusting deeper.
You fight it not by calculating possibilities, but by rejecting thoughts that contradict Godโ€™s Word.

Stop feeding your fears.
Stop entertaining lies.
Stop letting your mind dominate your faith.
Stop trying to control what God already controls.

If a thought doesnโ€™t bring peace, reflect Godโ€™s character, or align with His Word, it has no place in your mind.

Hereโ€™s the hope:
You can overcome this.
Your mind may be loud, but the Holy Spirit is louder.
Your fears may seem enormous, but your God is greater.
Your thoughts may be chaotic, but God reigns over the storm in your head.

How do you fight overthinking?

โ€ข Speak Godโ€™s truth out loud, even when your mind is shaking.
โ€ข Lay down every fear as soon as it appears.
โ€ข Choose worship when the enemy chooses warfare.
โ€ข Let God take over what youโ€™ve been trying to handle alone.

When your mind screams,
โ€œWhat if everything falls apart?โ€
God whispers,
โ€œWhat if I hold everything together?โ€

When your thoughts say,
โ€œYou canโ€™t survive this,โ€
God answers,
โ€œYou were never meant to survive alone.โ€

The enemy attacks your mind because your destiny is too great to touch.
Your thoughts are under assault because your calling is significant.

โ€œBe still, and know that I am God.โ€ โ€” Psalm 46:10
This isnโ€™t a suggestion; itโ€™s a command with a promise.
When you stop striving, you start seeing Him.

Calm your mind.
Release your fears.
Give the throne of your thoughts back to God.

The moment you trust Him more than your imagination, the battle in your mind loses its power.
