WOW! Lord I am
blown away by your mightiness! You took a time of extreme self-doubt and
hurting and turned it into a chance to grow even closer to you. Lord I ask your
forgiveness for my gluttony and sloth. I have lived so long defeated telling
myself that I am not good enough and that I am defeated. I have believed that I
am too far gone for any hope because I have allowed myself to get
this far. Lord somehow I forgot that you are stronger and more mighty than any
obstacle that Satan may put in my path or that I have allowed to consume me for
so long. Lord please forgive me for failing to see this sooner. Today's chapter
of Fervant reminded me that I no longer have to live as the girl who is not
good enough, not skinny enough or not loved unconditionally. Because I know
with great confidence that you see me as beautifully and wonderfully made and
you love without condition. I refuse to give Satan any further power over
this issue. I will no longer focus on the identity that others have
tried and still sometimes try to convince me existed in me for so long. God, I
know you have already forgiven my sins of gluttony and sloth and
I am so grateful for that. I know that you want me to use my
past mistakes and all the hurt that has come with them to be an amazing testimony
for You. I choose to walk through this season of my life trusting
in Your forgiveness because you have made me an overcomer. I will
overcome the label my friends and family placed on me and that I began
placing on myself; I will allow only You to define who I am and I will
stop believing any of the labels that others may place on me. You
created me with purpose, for something much bigger than anyone can ever
comprehend. I will use my past as a stepping stone that will only
lift me higher and closer to you. I will use my experience to equip
my children and others with scripture and knowledge so they can avoid
falling into Satan’s trap that he tried to set for me so long ago. I can
feel Satan squirming knowing that you have already given me the tools to
win this victory. I will live with the knowledge that you have given me
from 2Corinthians 5:17 I will remember that with you in my life that I am
a new creature, the old has passed away and new things have come! Thank
you Lord for giving me this knowledge today and reminding me that I am forgiven
and made new. I will make sure I live like that from now on! I pray these
things in Jesus Christ's holy and precious name, AMEN.
