Stepping Stones: Nothing Can Stop You

Transformational Tip
When you decide on a course of action that is in line with God's will, nothing on this earth can overpower you except you, for He is with you and for you. You may encounter many obstacles as you move step by step toward your goal, but don't be discouraged...never give up. Satan wants your failure, but God wants your success. Whose will and instruction will you align yourself? Don't conform to the world or Satan's will, but pursue God's will through His instruction manual and lead a transformed life. With Your Lord by your side you can overcome any obstacle. Move forward with bold and assured expectations

Prayer
Dear Father,
I praise You and thank You. I thank You for the power and wisdom of Your Word. I want to stay close to You and do things Your way, not my way. I ask that You show me Your path moment by moment, step by step. Instead of me dashing headlong toward my goal, I let You set the pace. I find it easy to trust you on quiet days when nothing much happens...but then the storms come and I am overwhelmed. Help me focus on You, help me remember how much You love me and how I must trust You. I know the more I trust You, the more you enable me to do. Thank You Lord.

The Truth
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
Psalm 46:1-3
