Moving To Higher Ground

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father!  

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9

Lord, I lift my friend before You.  There are mountainous challenges on their horizon, and there is a temptation to throw up their hands in defeat, even before they have even tried.  Reveal to them if a portion of their current feelings of being overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed might actually be fear of the future in disguise.  When they are discouraged, teach them to be strong and unafraid.  Bring to mind the countless times in the past when You have been faithful and come to their rescue (Isaiah 35:4).  May those life landmarks serve as hand and footholds for scaling the steep slopes ahead.  May the discouragement and fear that weigh them down and slow their steps, be replaced by exhilarating hope and faith that propel them forward toward the next victory and testimony of Your faithfulness.  

Lord, bless them with faith to praise and thank You in advance of reaching the summit.  Endow them with divine wisdom and self control to make decisions consistent with victory.  Thank You that just like You have walked with them in the past, once again, You will be with them every step of the way.  Equip them for today’s steps, Lord!  Give them courage!  Take them higher!  In Jesus Name ❤️
