When we are rooted in the Word, when we are praying consistently and constantly, when we have clear goals, when we keep strict account of our schedules, and when we remember to remember, we can perhaps say: “The enemy is at bay; I’m ok; my guard is up; God is in charge; all is well with my soul.”

Here’s an acronym to consider:
F orgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal and win the prize for
which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 3:14)
O pen for me the gates of righteousness: I will enter and give thanks to the Lord. (Psalm 118: 19)
C lothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the
sinful nature. (Romans 13:14)
U nderstanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools. (Prov. 16:22)
S tand firm, then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. (Ephesians 6:15
Finally, Paul exhorts us in this same passage, and we must be lifting each of us, our churches,our sisters in our Beth Moore study: “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6: 18)

Here are the words of “Take Him to the Place” by Aaron and Amanda Crabbe
To the place where dreams are shattered, And you felt you lost the race,
Where the only thing that’s left is sorrow and pain;
You wondered if you mattered or did anyone see you at all.
Take him to the place and watch dead things live again; One touch of his grace and it’s all washed away
There’s a place where hope is given, where you’re free from sin and shame, where he heals a broken heart
And he speaks new life again; where his love is ever drawing to a place where you’ll never be alone.
Let him heal your heart, give your love new start, you’ll find life brand new,
He will calm all fears, wipe away your tears, show you love so true.
Chorus : He’s calling out your name, doesn’t matter where you’ve been, or whatever you have faced,
Don’t be afraid, just take Him to the place.
