40 Days to Awaken Your Sober MindNäide

There is power in your story. Not once you’ve “figured it out”, but right now, in the middle of it.

Revelation says your story is a weapon. The enemy wants to keep you silent and playing small in your own life. He whispers lies like, “You should be further along,” or “because of your mistakes, no one will listen to you.” Well, I’ve got news, sister. In your weakness, He is strong. In fact, Paul goes on to say that Christ's power is displayed when we don’t have it all together! So go ahead and share your story while it is being written, reminding yourself and others that God is the author of your faith journey!

Romans says that God will use even the messy parts for good. So, stop hiding your struggle and start sharing your victory while it’s unfolding. People want to follow and learn from someone who has fought the good fight and is daring greatly IN the arena of life.

When you own your own story, you rob shame of its voice. You give others permission to be honest and God the space to rewrite every broken chapter. The Lord wants to redeem and restore everything that the enemy has come to steal, kill, and destroy. The fact that you’re reading a 40-day plan shows that you prioritize your spiritual life. God looks at the heart, so be encouraged today. He sees you and wants to meet you right where you are.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for walking with me through every chapter. Give me boldness to own my story and use it for Your glory. Let my lowest points be for Your highest praise. May You receive all the glory in my life Jesus.
