Today we're fasting from the thought: "I'm not going to make it." So often these thoughts fill our minds--we might not make it financially, we might not make it through this marriage problem, through this sickness, this trial, etc.

Let's put an end to this way of thinking:

1. God is faithful. He didn't bring you this far to leave you now. Philippians 1:6 says He began this work in you, He will finish it.

2. Remember, faith finds a way. (Mark 2:4-5) God will always provide a way for you to make it.

3. You have favor. Psalm 5:12 says favor surrounds you like a shield. Revelation 3:7-8 says God will open a door that no man can shut. Expect favor.

4. Trust Him to carry you. Deuteronomy 1:31 says, “There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”

5. You have the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 2:16) With the mind of Christ, you will know how to make it.

6. Believe in the power of praise. James 1:2 says, “Count it all joy when you encounter various trials.” Acts 16:25-26


THINK IT & SAY IT:

I am going to make it. I am going to make it financially. I am going to make it through whatever I’m facing. God brought me this far, He will lead me all the way.

God will open a door for me to make it. He will carry me when I’m weary. I will praise my way through this and will find a way, in Jesus’ Name.

You are going to make it!
"Here and happy because of my three little angels- Marie, Chad and Cady."
