grace

I spent my life learning to live with knots in my stomach, until 2 years ago when God set me free from the clutches of fear and anxiety.  But, work seems to be the place where my former companions, now enemies, lurk, waiting to jump on my back and paralyze me again.

Today, I said to God, "I need Your truth and I need a breakthrough once and for all!"  God responded immediately, speaking to me about grace.

For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works so that no one can boast.  Ephesians 2:8-9

My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.  2 Corinthians 12:9

God knows I'm imperfect.  He sent Jesus as His gift of grace to save me!  His grace is sufficient for me in EVERY situation.  I need not live in fear of making mistakes.  I will make mistakes, but God's grace is enough for me.  Even if people do not give me grace and forgiveness, God's strength will be made perfect in my weakness and imperfection.

I am learning to stand against fear and anxiety.  They have no power over me!  I am being trained and strengthened in God's perfect and all-sufficient grace!
