Day 1
Scriptures: 1 Peter 5:8, James 4:7
STAY ALERT AND CONNECTED
The devil is hungry for our souls. He wants to completely devour us. The Scripture likens the devil to a roaring lion. Lions prey on the weak. They look for those animals who are sickly or separated from their pack. They want the gazelle that has too much stuff going on and is not alert, and it doesn’t even see him coming.
The weak, distracted, and separated are easy targets for the lion and so is the case for us. If we are spiritually and/or emotionally weak, distracted by our circumstances and what is going on around us, and separated from family, friends, and other believers, we become an easy target for the devil.
Although you are walking through a difficult season of your life, you can’t let your guard down. There’s a hungry lion watching you to see what you will do. He’s waiting for you to let your guard down so he can attack you, but if you resist the devil, he will flee from you (James 4:7).
How do you resist him? Let’s talk about it. We have to stay alert. When we are alert, we are on the lookout for danger. We all walk through difficult seasons in our lives, times when we are weak, but we can’t get so caught up in our circumstances that we’re not paying attention to what’s going on around us. The lion is watching you right now.
If you find yourself spiritually weak and distracted, you need extra protection. That’s where your pack comes in. Many people tend to want to separate from their pack during times of weakness, but that is the worst thing you can do. You need their encouragement, love, and protection. You need positive people in your pack to encourage you to keep going. You need people to speak God’s Word into your life when you may be at a point where you can’t speak it yourself.
You need people to pray for you when you can’t pray for yourself. You need people who will be alert and stand guard while you deal with your issues. If they see the devil circling you, they can help you resist him. And if the devil tries to attack you anyway, they will be there to help you fight him. Believers who fight together achieve victory.
Declare: In my weakness, I will continue to remain alert at all times. I know my enemy is circling me, seeking to devour me. I will not be distracted by my circumstances, and I will remain close to other believers who can help me in my time of weakness. I will resist the devil, and he will flee from me (James 4:7).
Day 2
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, Philippians 4:13, Romans 8:37
DON’T GIVE IN
Dealing with heartbreak brings up so many thoughts and emotions. It’s easy to feel like the world is closing in around you. It’s a perplexing time. Sometimes, we don’t know where things went wrong. We’re trying to reevaluate ourselves and our lives, while also trying to see how to move forward. It also brings up feelings of punishment and persecution for something we did in our past. And let’s face it, heartbreak can completely knock us off our feet.
I’m so glad that Paul speaks with such boldness like He does in today’s Scripture. Paul lets us know that we can have certain thoughts and feelings about what’s going on, but we don’t have to completely give ourselves over to our situations or our emotions. This season may make you feel like the world is pressing in all around you, but you are not crushed. You may be perplexed about what happened or what to do next, but you don’t have to be in despair. You may feel like you’re being persecuted for past mistakes, but the truth is that God will never leave you or abandon you. Maybe life threw you a curveball and knocked you off your feet, but you’re not destroyed.
Don’t give in to your situation, your thoughts, or your emotions. Be bold like Paul. The enemy wants nothing more than for you to give up and turn your back on God, but you have to let him know that you can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13). It may be hard, but you can bear it.
As you walk through these tests and trials, God is developing things in you. You will come out of this season better, stronger, and wiser than you were before if you just trust in God. God made us to be overcomers and more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). He made us to be victorious in every situation. My sister, don’t give in!!
Declare: This heartbreak may be hard to bear, but I can certainly bear it. I’m not crushed. I am not in despair. I am not abandoned. And I am certainly not destroyed. I will make it out of this season of my life a better, stronger, and wiser person than I was when I entered this season. I am victorious, in Jesus’ Name!
Day 3
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7
YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
Many of us, as believers, don’t realize the Power that the Holy Spirit possesses. Therefore, we don’t realize the Power that we possess. Because the Holy Spirit lives inside of us, we possess Great Power, Great Love, and way more Self-Discipline than we give ourselves credit for. However, none of this will manifest in our lives if we don’t activate the Holy Spirit inside of us. What you’re going through right now may feel like an impossible situation, but that is just a feeling. The truth is you possess everything you need to get through this season of your life and come out better on the other side.
The unknown is extremely scary. In my past, I feared the unknown so much that it literally stopped me from working on and reaching my goals. The unknown also kept me in some relationships longer than I needed to be there. When it came to the fear I had in relationships, I have seen God give me the power to leave, enough love for myself to leave and enough love for my ex to forgive, and enough self-discipline to stay away from that particular relationship. You have the same spirit living in you, just waiting to be activated.
When you activate the Holy Spirit within you, you will find the Power, the Love, and the Self-Discipline you need to overcome this test in your life and see victory. You will be able to make it through this season of your life and see growth in yourself and in your faith in God. There is no reason to fear being alone, fear the unknown, or fear the opinions of others. Walk with boldness from now on, knowing the Power you possess within.
Declare: I do not have a spirit of fear. I will activate the Holy Spirit living within me. I possess much Power, much Love, and much Self-Discipline. Though this season is tough for me, I know I will make it through. I have everything I need living inside of me.
Day 4
Scripture: Isaiah 40:31
GET RENEWED STRENGTH
We all get tired and weary at some point on our journeys. As we go through tests and trials, and even victories and triumphs, we become physically, mentally, and spiritually weak. Even the strongest and most vigorous of us all need their strength renewed at some point. This is nothing to be ashamed of.
This journey of healing and purpose you have been on takes a lot out of you. It’s only natural to be weakened, but you don’t have to stay that way. We have a God who renews strength. All you have to do is wait on Him. I like how the amplified version describes waiting. It’s not a passive thing. You don’t just sit with an idle mind and wait. No. While you’re waiting, you are also expecting and looking and hoping for God to show up in your midst. God will renew the strength you had before the breakup or before the dysfunctional relationship.
If your thoughts are something like, “Man, I had so much power before that person came into my life.” Don’t worry! When God renews, He not only gives us new strength, He gives us new power as well. As we allow God to renew us, we rise up closer to Him in our spirits. We become like eagles, rising above our situations. An eagle soars high, able to look down on and see everything below it. We get a better vantage point, which means we get a better perspective. A better perspective means overall better living. We live better because we make better decisions based on our better perspective. We are no longer easily fooled because our vantage point allows us to see the enemy coming, and our renewed strength and power allows us to handle him accordingly. When God renews our strength, hell gets nervous. The devil gets scared. He knows we are no longer easy prey. He knows when our strength and power is renewed, we will run and not get weary, and we will walk and not grow tired. He knows we are strong women of God that can’t be trifled with. He knows the power we possess. So if you’re feeling weak right now, just wait on the Lord. Hope that He will show up; look for Him to show up; expect Him to show up; and He certainly will!
Declare: In my times of weakness, I will wait on God. I wait with expectancy, hoping and looking for Him to show up; and I know that He will. He will renew my strength and my power. My new strength and power scares the enemy. I’m no longer a weak woman to be taken advantage of. I am now ready to run this race without becoming weary. I will walk on this journey without getting tired.
Day 5
Scriptures: Isaiah 54:17, Revelation 12:10
YOU CAN’T BE DEFEATED
Today’s promise is one of my favorites. How many times do we feel like our tests are going to take us out? When we have this feeling, today’s scripture is the one to stand on. Although weapons form and try to come against us, God says they won’t succeed. That means whatever tests we face in life, none of them are capable of defeating us, no matter what it looks like in the natural. However, we can give away our power and let them win, and that’s exactly what the enemy wants.
The devil is our accuser. The Bible says he accuses us before God day and night (Revelation 12:10). However, God said we will silence every voice raised up to accuse us. Instead of accepting defeat when weapons form against us, we have to silence them with the Word of God. The Word of God is more powerful than anything the enemy tries to turn against us. If we use God’s Word to fight, the weapons can’t succeed, and victory will certainly be ours. This is the benefit of serving God. We are guaranteed victory every time if we use the right weapon.
Think about the weapon that’s rising up against you now. What are you going to do? Will you let it succeed, or will you pick up your weapon and claim victory? Will you silence the voices that accuse you, or will you let those voices tear you down? That breakup is a weapon that formed against you, but it won’t succeed if you use your weapon. The lies the enemy tells you about why that man left, you not being good enough, or why you can’t keep a man are all weapons formed against you, but they won’t succeed if you use your weapon. The power is in your hands. Will you use it?
Declare: I will not allow any weapon that forms against me to succeed. I will silence any voice that tries to condemn me because of my past or tries to limit my future. I am a servant of God, and He will vindicate me.
