Jer 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.

You are created for success. God has already

I can do everything through him who gives

Rom 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect

God has a plan for your life that leads to

success and abundance. But it requires you to go
against the grain of doubt and have faith in His

Him to do it.

Phil 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything,

Matt 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and

God’s desire is for us to share His name with

everyone. The way we’re called witness is the
purpose He made us to live. The enemy will try to
distract you from that purpose with challenges and
hardship, but at your core remember that every
situation – no matter how hard the challenge – is
another opportunity to shine the light of Jesus

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of

The thief comes only to steal and kill and

Acts 18:10
For I am with you, and no one

You don’t have to fear anyone. You don’t have

Acts 18:9
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:
“Do not be afraid; keep on speaking,

Gal 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer

I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and

God gave Himself up for you. Jesus sacrificed

His own body so you may have a chance at
salvation. How much more will He give for you to
succeed in His name? All you have to do is keep

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just

all unrighteousness.

God sees all things whether they’re in the dark or

The enemy will try to convince us that our sin is too
dark for God to forgive, but that just isn’t true.
Jesus WILL forgive your sin and purify you. All you

Rom 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God…

No one is too far from Christ to “deserve”

salvation. There is no person who is unworthy of
salvation. Everyone on this earth has fallen short of
God’s perfection, and that’s why He sent His Son
Jesus to die on the cross and give you life. Don’t
hide from God’s beauty because you have a low
sense of worth. See yourself as a risen child of
Christ, as the chosen daughter of a King. He loves
you and cares for you and wants you tucked in His
arms forever, no matter what has happened in the
past.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way

But God demonstrates his own love for us in

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is

Be strong and courageous. Do not be

Isa 40:31
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their
strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they
will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not
be faint.

It takes a strong spirit to keep flying when

your wings are hurting. It takes a strong spirit to
keep running even when exhaustion runs deep
through your bones. It takes a strong spirit to keep
pressing forward, moving onward, and never giving
up no matter how impossible the fight seems. But
when you have hope in the Lord, that’s exactly what
your spirit does. It continues to press onward
because your strength is miraculously renewed
through the power of the Holy Spirit. You will
succeed.

Isa 53:5
But he was pierced for our
transgressions, he was crushed for our
iniquities; the punishment that brought us
peace was upon him, and by his
wounds we are healed.

Jesus gave us everything He had. He gave His

life so we could have peace and healing, and so we
could spend eternity in heaven with Him. What an
incredible blessing. It humbles me to even think
about it. I’m so eternally grateful and I want to
spend every second of my life giving God the praise
He so deserves. I pray you do the same.

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always
be prepared to give an answer to everyone who
asks you to give the reason for the hope that you

Plenty of people have questioned why I’m so

sure of my faith. Plenty of people have asked me
how I know for sure. Why am I so confident? How

2 Tim 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness…

The busier we are, the easier it is to forget to

have quiet time with Christ. But scripture is literally
the breath of God. It’s literally our access to His
thoughts and His ways and His truth. It’s our living
word. And that’s why I must make it a priority to
spend time reading His love letter to me.

Matt 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.

When you look after Christ FIRST, when you

seek to please Him above all things, anything you

God’s will above your own means the things you
want are only the things He wants for you. And
that’s how you become perfectly aligned with

Heb 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat
down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Fixing our eyes on Jesus is just like fixing our

eyes on a goal or a finish line. It has to be a constant
reminder of why we’re living here, of what our
purpose is. We have to constantly remind ourselves
not be distracted by what’s to our right or to our
left, but to keep our minds and hearts on Jesus –
the author and perfecter of our faith.

because He loves you. All you have to do it let Him.

Eph 2:10
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do.

God prepared your divine destiny long before

you were even formed in your mother’s womb. He
has a perfect and divine plan for your success
already laid out for you. The trick is that if you walk
your own path, you get in the way of the abundance
God has planned. Don’t get in the way of your

1 Cor 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is
common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let
you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But
when you are tempted, he will also provide a way
out so that you can stand up under it.

Temptation is just an obstacle standing in the

way of your blessing. God wants to grant you a life
of abundance, prosperity, and peace, everything He
promises to those who trust Him. But sin takes us
off our path towards Christ and keeps us from
unleashing our legend. But when we withstand that
temptation, when we say no to the sin, we get one
step closer to the beauty God has waiting for us.
God will NEVER give you a challenge too great for
you to handle.

Come to me, all you who are weary and

You’re tired. You just want to give up. The

Heb 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for

Being a powerful woman of faith means

believing God’s promise that He will carry our

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new

Rom 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be

Sometimes I just want to curl into a ball and
hide or bury my head in the sand and pretend
nothing is falling apart around me. Sometimes I
want to run away from the problem, act like it
doesn’t exist, and hope to all hope that it resolves
itself on its own because I’m terrified to face it. But
that’s not acting with faith or belief. Because God
promises me that He will strengthen me and hold
my hand through any battle I must fight. My fear is
my lack of faith, so I choose to have faith.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am

Heb 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him must believe
that he exists and that he rewards those who

Faith is believing in what we cannot see.

That’s why it’s impossible to please God without it.
Because although we haven’t seen Christ, we feel

I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and

Because trials, set backs, mistakes and obstacles

no shame, no mistake that can ever make Jesus love
us less than He does. His love for us is endless. It’s
certain. Jesus’ love for you is an absolute truth that
no one can alter, no matter what stands in our way.

Heb 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in
the habit of doing, but let us encourage one
another—and all the more as you see the Day
approaching.

When life gets busy it’s easy to simply “skip

church” so we can catch up on our to-do list. But
this is a slippery slope to travel. Fellowship with
other believers is a source of encouragement. It’s a
source of hope. It’s a source of reminding ourselves
that we are created for a divine destiny so legendary
that others can’t even fathom it. Make the effort to
get in your praise time with Christ. You’re going to
be all the better for it.

Phil 1:6
Being confident of this, that he who
began a good work in you will carry it
on to completion until the
day of Christ Jesus…

Remember that God has chosen you for

greatness. Believe to your very core that you were
created for a purpose and a grander vision. You
were created to unleash a divine legacy so
incredible that it will bring others to His name.
Believe it. And keep moving towards your destiny.

Heb 4:16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with
confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find
grace to help us in our time of need.

You know what it means to have confidence?

It means to be solid. Unchangeable. To have a
strong, stable, secure certainty that things are as
they are. That’s what God asks from you. He wants
you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is
here to rescue you when you need it. He is here to
save you when you fear it. He is here to lift you up
above the haters so you rise on wings of eagles and
fly towards your legend in Christ. Believe that He is
over all things.

Ps 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

When making Jesus happy becomes the way

you make yourself happy, you’ll never have another
joyless day again. You’ll understand that no matter
the challenge or the hardship or the trial, God has
an ultimate plan to bring you through it. There’s a
lesson to be learned in every tribulation; there’s an
opportunity to grow and show incredible,
unshakable faith as every obstacle comes our way.
And THAT’S how we make Jesus smile.

John 3:17
For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn the world, but to
save the world through him.

The purpose of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross

was not to condemn others, because humanity was
already condemned. As soon as Adam and Eve
sinned at the beginning of creation, we were
separated from an eternity with God. Jesus died on
the cross to change that separation and reverse our
condemnation. To give us a chance at sitting with
Him at the right hand of God, of spending forever
in absolute bliss and divine destiny. He is our gift.
He is our salvation. And I am so grateful.
 have courage
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for
there is no other name under heaven given to
men by which we must be saved.

Jesus is the only way to salvation. He’s the

only way to spending an eternity with God in
heaven. That’s why faith is so precious, so blessed:
because we’re lucky enough to understand that
Jesus’ sacrifice for our salvation is a precious gift
that we’ll never take for granted.

Isa 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace him
whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you

Trust in God to take care of you. This is how

you carry a conviction so strong that it becomes
virtually unshakeable. When you keep your mind
steady on the Lord, He will sustain you. He will give
you peace, because you know deep in your heart
that the almighty God in heaven has got YOUR
back.
 have courage
1 Pet 2:24
He himself bore our sins in his body
on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live
for righteousness; by his wounds you
have been healed.

Nothing is impossible for Christ. When Jesus

died on that cross, when He gave Himself up for
your salvation, He gave you permission to conquer
anything in this world through His name. You ARE
healed. You ARE delivered. You ARE blessed
beyond measure. You are the daughter of a Risen
King.

Josh 1:8
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from
your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that
you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Studying God’s word is a beautiful blessing that
brings success and prosperity to those who are
faithful. Reading His word, connecting with His
love letter, allowing the Bible to be an integral part
of our lives unleashes our faith and aligns our
spirits with Christ. Surround yourself with God’s
word by writing Bible verses on your post-it notes,
receiving daily verses in your inbox, reading His
word each morning when you get up, and reading
again when you lay your head down.

Matt 28:18
Then Jesus came to them and said,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me…

There is nothing in this world that is too big

for Christ to handle. He’s got all authority over
everything that exists. So don’t be afraid of the
unknown. Don’t fear the challenge. Understand
that God will never let anything happen that He
knows you can’t handle. Trust His will. Trust His
path for your life. Walk in the direction of His glory.
He will make your paths straight.
 have courage
Col 3:23
Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working
for the Lord, not for men…

Sometimes it’s easy to get away with doing the

bare minimum, especially when we don’t have a
boss looking over our shoulder to see our work. But
that’s not the right way to approach our purpose.
God asks that we give Him all of our effort, that we
put 100% into fulfilling His purpose for our life.
Because that purpose comes with blessings and
abundance so incredible you’ve never even
imagined them.
 have courage
Matt 22:37
Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.

Jesus wants us to give Him everything. He

doesn’t want a piece of my heart, or half of my
heart, or even two thirds of it. Jesus wants all of my
heart, because I am His child, His masterful art
piece. He created every hair on my head and
planned every step of my feet. He loves me with
every fiber of His being, and He’s waiting for me to
love Him back the same way. How can I deny Him?
 have courage
Matt 5:16
In the same way, let your light
shine before men, that they may see your good
deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

We can’t earn our way into heaven, so that’s

not why we do good deeds. We do good deeds
because those acts are what draw others to the voice
of Christ. By unbelievers seeing the way you love
others, the way you care for others, the way you go
above and beyond to share Christ’s heart with
others, THAT is what is going to draw them to want
to become part of the love of Christ.
 have courage
Isa 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are
your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.

When challenges come our way, it’s instinct to

question why this is happening to us. Why do we
have to deal with this mountain? Why is this stress
messing with our lives? Why can’t everything just
be okay? But that’s not the right way to look at the
situation. God has a divine plan for you, an
extraordinary purpose He’s created you to achieve.
Every obstacle, every challenge, every hardship that
comes your way is part of His plan for helping you
unleash your legend in Christ. Trust in Him to do
the right thing. He will ALWAYS rescue you. That’s
a promise.
 have courage
John 13:35
By this all men will know that you
are my disciples, if you love one another.

Our love sets us apart from those who don’t

believe in the name of Christ. The way we love each
other, care for each other, the way we look after
God’s creation as if it were our own. These acts of
love tell non-believers that we belong to the mighty
Christ. Let’s make sure they get the message loud
and clear.
