FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION:

(00:00)
Hey sister. I just wanted to read you some verses for encouragement today. Cause I know that no matter where you sit, life is hard. Running a business is hard. Being a mom is hard. Being a wife is hard. Even if you’re not a wife being alone is hard. Finances are hard. Okay. And everything on our own is never going to be good enough. There’s never a moment in time when you are enough on your own, but there is every single second in time that you are qualified, equipped, ready for anything because of the Lord who strengthens us.

(00:40)
Okay. And so I just wanted to pour into you some encouraging verses today, in case you’re needing a little spiritual fuel and a reminder of how much you are loved, how much you are equipped, how much you are not alone, how much you are loved, how much you are called. You, sweet friend are protected, covered and everything in between. Psalm 62:5 “Yes, my soul find rest in God. My hope comes from him.” Yes. Our souls find rest in God and hope from him.

(01:22)
We don’t need to worry. We don’t need to stress. Everything is at peace when we turn to God, Psalm 91:1 “whoever, and the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the almighty.” Again, you can rest easy knowing that tomorrow is covered, sister. Romans 8:31 “What then, shall we say in response to these things, if God is for us, who can be against us?”

(01:51)
We shatter what the world thinks of us. We walk away from judgment, from condemnation and say yes and amen to God being for us, which is all we have to worry about. All we have to focus on because if he is for us, it doesn’t matter who’s against us ,sisters. We are equipped Psalm 31:24, “be of good courage. And he shall strengthen your heart. All ye that hope in the Lord.” Be of good courage, Sister. He’ll strengthen your heart and you just hope in the Lord.

(02:23)
Be of good courage. Step out in faith today. Step out, even though you’re unsure of the outcome, even though you’re unsure of the what, where, when, who, why just say, yes, raise your hand. We can do this. We have strength because God is here with us and can lean on him knowing he has got everything figured out every client you’re praying for.

He’s got that person ready and waiting for you. Those finances you’ve been praying for. He’s got that, sister. You are covered Psalm 138:7 “though I walk in the midst of trouble. You, my life, you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes with your right hand.

(03:05)
You save me though. I walk in the midst of trouble. You preserve my life.” When we look to the left and right, we see a fallen shattered, broken world sisters. We are not of this world. So we can rise above the fray and can be preserved. We can be protected by keeping our eyes on him. Jeremiah 29:11, one of my favorites “for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

(03:34)
Plans to give you hope and a future.” You don’t need to have all the plans. Sweet friend. God’s got the plans for you. He’s had the plans you have had this beautiful, planned out incredible kingdom-sized vision of your life since birth. When are we going to surrender to it? Because God promises right here in Jeremiah 29:11 plans to prosper, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future and sisters, his plans for your future are bigger and brighter and more fruitful than your plans could ever be.

(04:13)
The last word of encouragement I want to share with you now is first Peter 5:7 “cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.” Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. So sister, wherever you find yourself right now here, listening to this message with me. I just pray that your heart is filled with Holy spirit love, with that encouragement, that flows from head to toe. Let it overflow, Sis, that we let our worries wash away.

(04:48)
And we hand them over to God because he is more equipped than you. He is more equipped than me, the one who will fight our battles. He is the one who will judge, the one who will take care of everything. He’s a loving, sweet guiding father. And all we have to do is say yes and amen to him alone. We don’t have to look for other people, and we don’t have to show up and do things their way. We don’t have to fight for likes, engagement growth in our businesses.

(05:18)
All we have to say is Father, how do we impact today? How do you want me to show up Holy spirit order the importance of the things in my planner today. Remind me what really matters. Help me show up with you for you hand in hand for the glory of your kingdom. Sisters, I just pray that you find it in your heart to let go and let God and thank you father for bringing us together today. Thank you for your promises, your book, your handbook to life.

(05:51)
Thank you so much for delivering that to us and thank you for forgiving us and pouring into us, even though we are learning, we are growing and we fail. We thank you for never failing us for being steadfast, for being the heartbeat in our body, to being the peace that we seek to being the shoes on our feet, to being the sight to our eyes, to being everything.

(06:17)
We thank you for all of that. And we pray. I pray over these women that they just relinquished control and hand it to you because you’ve got us. Thank you for this beautiful word of encouragement today, father until next time girls Jesus’ name amen love and God’s light, Stef.
