Many times in life we pray to God without counting the cost. Many times we ask for things without knowing all the challenges you will have to endure. But when you are called to greatness, there is a process you must go through. Today, I want to encourage your spirit man, that God has given you strength for the journey.

A few days ago, my husband/Pastor anointed my head and declared that God has given me strength for the journey. Sometimes, we can go through things that try to steal our strength, joy, and peace. The devil tries to counterpoint you into a place of frustration, hurt, and offense. God’s original plan was never for you to end up being that way.

No matter what storm you’re faced with or obstacle that comes your way, you have to learn how to depend on God’s strength and word in order to endure into the end. God allows you to go through certain things because you’ve been graced for the journey. God allows you to experience certain things because you’ve been strengthened for the journey. I know things can happen that can throw you for a loop. I know some of you have experienced things that you thought would never happen, but God has given you strength for the journey.

When you come out, you’re going to come out like pure gold. So stop getting upset and asking, “Why me?” Why not you!!

I know every day will not be easy and some days the tears will not stop flowing, but I’ve come to declare over your life that God has given you strength for the journey. When you are weak, he is strong. His grace is sufficient for you. He will never leave you nor forsaken you. He will be with you always.

Girl, God has given you strength for the journey. Continue to go forth. Don’t give up. Don’t back down. Don’t fret or worry now. You shall have strength for the journey.

You have:
Strength to carry on.
Strength to go forth.
Strength to fulfill the tasks.
Strength to carry out the assignment.
Strength to start the business.
Strength to raise the children.
Strength to start the ministry.
Strength to answer the calling.

Strength shall be your portion! The strength of God will carry you to the promise. The strength of God will carry you to the blessing. The strength of God will carry you to the healing. The strength of God will carry to the manifestation.
I am praying for your strength today.

Love always,
