🥁 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!

Thank you for your transparency and honesty in sharing your testimonies. God bless always 🙏🏻😇❤️

[@andrewbatts1216]

[@claricerachal9742]

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. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@marquitajohnston4808]

[@elainemustard142]

Praise God!

[@vernonmatthew2188]

Thank you for the encouragement 🙏

[@johnneladderley03]

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.

[@jamesovadoba366]

I'm experiencing all of the emotions Deborah talked about. My creditors are at my neck, lose my job months ago and in search of another. I really need this encouragement Deborah. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much. The 3 videos made me hopeful again. I was on the verge of taking my life and I could not remember now how I came to your page, except that God brought me into this. Thank you and could not wait for tomorrow.

[@stacyhost4009]

[@ThelifeofJesus]

He does! Can I ask what you feel changed in the last few days? Did God speak to you in any way? God bless!

[@ncc2008ful]

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

[@teresapogozelec2520]

I’m tired of being sick and having no energy. I’m thankful for my struggles because they brought me back to God but I’m tired of waiting. I try to be patient and remember God’s time not mine.

[@charmiz]

Thank you Deborah for this encouraging and enlightening words. God bless

[@lookwhosunderdog1133]

Our family have had the worst year. 4 deaths just sense January. We are fighting to get our grandchildren back from an evil system. I’m praying for God to help us through this. Please pray for our son he struggles so much. From all this.

[@michellohlson8611]

I'm doing poorly today. I lost a good relationship so my heart is hurting. I am in a situation where I don't know how it'll all work out and I'm feeling super melancholy lately . My life is rough right now, but I'm barely holding on to hope that God has a great plan for me, so I am going to continue to pray on it and stay in faith, regardless of how the enemy is attacking me. Patience is a virtue, so they say.🤷

[@DeborahRosenkranzOfficial]

Yes, keep praying! You are not alone! There's "some more encouragement" for you tomorrow - from the bottom of my heart 💚! Praying for you!

I have been saying a lot lately , I feel empty , drained, unhappy and nothing left to give . Your daily readings have been spot on for me lately . It’s been a rough year, yet with positives , I’m learning a lot about myself and the biggest one is that I’m a people pleaser and will say yes to the detriment of my own well being . Thank you Deborah for this reading and clip for allowing us to answer how we really are feeling .

[@glendatrott7108]

I do put my hope and trust in God daily 🙏🏾

[@lulubele2]

I am in chronic pain due to arthritis….I’m widowed early & I still cannot accept that my husband is gone . I am functioning but I feel like this life is nothing I ever imagined it would be & the devil keeps blocking my vision. I’m in a holding pattern because my mother is an invalid with some dementia & chose to be in a nursing home. I don’t feel like I can leave to travel but I just don’t understand why she has to suffer… or my husband who died at 52

[@catherinesmith8958]
