Isaiah 43:2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.

Over the years I have written several blogs after a mass killing and other disasters. Unfortunately, things have not changed, and they won’t either. Why? The first reason for which I’ve stated in previous blogs is because all these things was predicted in the bible! The second reason why is people who are not Christians, saved, and born again are going to do what the devil tells them to. The bible states this very clearly. So then, this IS our new normal!

Is it difficult to live in this world today? Definitely YES! Should I be scared? Not really scared but more like concerned. We should be wise and careful. There is a lot of surveillance equipment and alarms that we can purchase. We can be cautious when we are out and about. We can have extra food, supplies and batteries in case of a storm or natural disaster.

Our greatest peace though will come only from Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. If we don’t have them in our lives, we will not survive this world’s very stressful situations. We MUST continue to live trusting fully in God’s protection. Even if something does happen, even if we get a bad report from the doctor, even if we lose our job or our home…. GOD WILL BE THERE! Even if we lose our life…. we will be in the presense of God. So, what does this all mean?

Today in 2024 we need Jesus so much more!

My new daily routine…In the morning as soon as I open my eyes…I give God praise. I tell Him how much I love Him. I ask Him to help me through my day. Sometimes I ask for specific prayer requests. At the end of the day, I thank Him for all He did for me.

My health has been EXTREMLY CHALLENGING! I use to sing “Precious Lord take my hand.” Not anymore! I sing precious Lord take my hold body and carry me around! I can’t even breath without God! I can’t walk, talk or think right without God! I need God like a baby needs its mother to survive!!!

People….we can’t live our life without Gods strength anymore!!!! Fear not and hang in there!!!

I leave you with one of the most encouraging scriptures:


Psalms 23:4  Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.
