God understands me.
          
          Luke 22:42
          NKJV
          42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."
          
          God doesn't just see you and is with you. He understands you.
          
          Jesus, who is God, came in the form of a human. He knows  your humanity and your flaws. Jesus felt all the attacks we are through and knows just how not easy it is.
          
          So, I want to comfort you today that God does understand how hard it is. How hard surrender is. How hard fighting this flesh is. How tempting situations can be and how easy it is to believe lies.
          
          He sees and understands. Thiugh he doesn't excuse it he does understand. He understands you. Even when the world world doesn't. He does.

God forgives me
          
          1 John 1:9
          NKJV
          9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
          
          Easier said, then done, but God does forgive, sis! It's easy to think God doesn't forgive you when you realize how great your mistake her.
          
          But the word tells us that in Christ, if we repent, He does forgive us. The only exception is if you haven't forgiven someone and haven't repented.
          
          But if you truly see the error of your sins and realise the mistakes you and and desire to turn from them, God already forgave you.
          
          And you don't have to do it alone. He wants to help you overcome sin and faults.
          
          What are some verses to help you remember that God forgives you once you've repented?
          
          
          

God sees me
          
          Genesis 16:13
          NKJV
          13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-[a]the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here seen Him who sees me?”
          
          It's easy to think God doesn't notice our pain. I've been there. So many times, I wondered if God sees all the efforts I'm making. Efforts to be a good daughter, to honour my parents, to do His will, and to be a good person.
          
          I wondered if God saw the pain, many crying times, and many moments I broke down. Times when all I wanted to do was give up, but I would push anyway.
          
          I'm here to say sis that He does see you. He sees you.

          John 3:15-17
          ESV
          15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
          
          For God So Loved the World
          16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.
          
          Romans 10:9
          ESV
          9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
          
          It's Jesus who gives eternal life. Thus we need to accept Jesus into our hearts, not just to not go to hell but out of love that He died so we can be in heaven. He died so we can be saved. He was tortured in our place so we can have life in abundance. He felt pain so we can one day never feel it again. He was hurt so that we will never mourn when in heaven. Jesus paid the price so we can have the confidence that has our eternity secured in His love and that we will one day be with Him in perfect peace. 
          
          Forever

God is with me.
          
          God is always with you always.
          
          As long as you're walking with Him (walking in obedience and following His word), then you can be sure God's right beside you.
          
          As you seek His face in situations and desire to do His will, that's enough for you to know God is with you.
          
          Joshua 1:9
          NKJV
          9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
          
          Matthew 28:20
          NKJV
          20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

John 3:16
          ESV
          For God So Loved the World
          16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
          
          This verse is very common, but this isn't always easy to remember; it's the secure truth to confidence. God loves you. Think of a friend. Think of family. Think of anyone or anything. God loves you beyond anything you could ever love. Even if you had a child or love your mom, that's just a tiny fragment of His love for you.
          
          God's love for you is a fact. It's not conditional. It's not based on whether you've been good or not. It's not based on whether you obeyed Him or not. His love doesn't fluctuate. His love doesn't increase or decrease. It's consistently constant and something you can always have in your heart.
          
          When you pray, He loves you. When you don't pray, He loves you. When you do the right thing, He loves you. When you do the wrong thing, He loves you. When you trust Him, He loves you. When you doubt Him, He loves you. 
          
          It can't ever change.
          
          If you can repeat this to yourself every day, it will help you become a more secure person.
          
          You ARE Loved.

What does it mean to have your identity in Christ and share a time when knowing your identity helped you in a situation (this can be warfare, a time when others made fun of you etc)

For this week I'm challenging everyone to have at least 5 minutes of silence after you've prayed. I want you to set a specific time you'll be in prayer. After worshipping, praying and giving your requests I want you to put away anything that can distract you. If you can remain in silence or if you're in a very noisy home, you can play a soft instrumental and take time to listen to God.
          
          Truly silence yourself. Don't say anything but simply ask "Holy Spirit speak to me" and as you'll be quiet, be expectant for Him to speak to you and remain focused on Him.
          
          This doesn't mean you'll automatically hear an audio voice but be sensitive as the Holy Spirit might bring scripture to your mind. He can bring thoughts into your mind that makes sense, confirmation and revelation. He can lead you to think of someone. Where someone keeps coming to your mind it could be Him telling you to pray for them. 
          
          A word of encouragement can come to mind. You can feel led to send someone a message or to write to some people. Where you'll feel a conviction to do something. Where you'll feel convicted to stop doing something or to repent. Where you'll have peace and know God is confirming something.
          
          Whatever way God will speak to you this week. Know He does speak, and He will speak but we need to just take time to be silent and listen to hear what He has to say.
          
          When our prayers are just us speaking it isn't truly a conversation with God, but we should actively and purposefully seek to silence our voice to hear His.
