Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again-my Savior and my God. -Psalm 43:5(NLT)
I’LL PUT MY HOPE IN GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever I feel down and discouraged
I will put my hope in God so I’ll have the courage
When things seem bleak and hopeless
I will look beyond feeling frustrated and helpless.
Why is my heart so sad when my mind can’t fathom?
I need to praise the Lord with complete abandon
I will put my hope in Christ for he is full of grace
I will focus on my God so I will continue to be amazed.

Was there ever a time in your life when you were frustrated, desperate, helpless and hopeless? I am sure at some point you were in this predicament. There were many dark periods in over 5 decades of my life. I even came to a point when I argued and battled with the Lord over many things I did not understand. I manipulated and made vows and deals with him just so I can have my way. I was a controlling woman who’d do anything to get her wishes and dreams fulfilled. I thank God that he delivered me from this desperation, manipulation and rebellion that enslaved me. I will put my hope in my God and I will completely trust him.
PRAYER
Lord, teach us humility and obedience when we get discouraged.
REFLECTION
What do you do or who do you run to when you feel helpless?

But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.
-John 20:31(NLT)
LIFE BY THE POWER OF HIS NAME
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you experienced challenges, failures or defeat?
Scriptures were written so that you can learn to win
The words of God focuses on Jesus, the Messiah
When faced with trials, do you run to Him or cry out?
Believe and you will have life by the power of his name
Live by his grace and you will get over your shame
The Son of God came so that you will have power
By believing in him, you will make the devil cower.

There were many years of my life that was wasted by thinking that it was me who have control over things and situations. I relied so much on myself and have totally forgotten that without Christ, I won’t have anything. Life without Jesus was a very difficult and daunting task, but when I accepted him as Lord of my life and my Messiah, I was transformed. I think it was because I was given discernment by the Holy Spirit how to deal with the same situations in a way God wants me to. Scriptures were written so we can have life by the power of his name.
PRAYER
Thank you for transforming me Lord.
REFLECTION
What’s the difference of a life committed to Christ and an unbelieving life?
