🥁 Here are the Bible verses that are used in this video. We encourage you to read them and say them out loud to yourself:

⚔️ Is fatigue your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then respond with, No, because it says in the Scriptures:

"Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.” (Isaiah 40:30-31 NLT).

____________

⚔️ Is suffering your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then respond with, No, for it is written in the Scriptures:

"The Lord will work out his plans for my life” (Psalm 138:8 NLT).

__________

⚔️ Is fear your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then respond with, No, because it says in the Scriptures:

"For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you’” (Isaiah 41:13 NLT).

________

⚔️ Is low self-worth your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then respond with, No, because it says in the Scriptures:

God created me in His image, and He thinks I am very good! (see Genesis 1:27, 3). Wonderful and unique He has made me! Great is EVERYTHING He makes. And I recognize that!" (see Psalm 139:14).
____________

⚔️ Is loss your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then respond with, No, for it says in the Scriptures:

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4 NLT) and “But now this is what the Lord says: ‘Do not weep any longer, for I will reward you” (Jeremiah 31:16 NLT).

__________

⚔️ Is loneliness your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then answer with, No, for it is written in the Scriptures:

"He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump” (Psalm 113:7 NLT).

_________


⚔️ Is the feeling of emptiness your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then respond with, No, because it is written in the Scriptures:

”I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10 NIV).

____________


Or are even ⚔️ suicidal thoughts ⚔️ your issue and the voice wants to tell you lies? Then answer with, No because it says in the Scriptures:

“Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13 NLT).
AMEN!

  • Life is always filled with challenges but I find getting up early daily before starting my day and spending time with God in devotions and prayer help me to stay focused thru all the challenges I faced and face. Thank you for your transparency and honesty in sharing your testimonies. God bless always 🙏🏻😇❤️
  • I have been feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, frustrated and tired. Why doesn't God answer me, help me or speak to me. I see everyone else getting their prayers answered and giving testimonies about how God delivered or blessed them when they needed Him the most..and I'm still here in the wilderness..However like you said, but only God is still keeping me going. I refuse to give up because I know God will never leave me or forsake me. I remain confident that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Thank you for this amazing video Deborah.
  • Even in a time where I’m not in control. I know and believe God is in control. My 12 day old grandson is going through a surgical procedure. I trust God. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
  • @andrewbatts1216

    I feel like I do not know what my purpose is in life and I feel lost. I pray to God that he reveals what my purpose is that he has for me. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
