November 28
I just got this in an email from our womens pastor at church and decided to post it because I think that I will have to be looking back on this a few times when I am in Nicaragua...I am SURE some if not all of the 'You say' will come up, and I will need a reminder of what God says!!
You say: 'It's impossible' ... God says: All things are possible! (Luke 18:27)
You say: 'I'm too tired' ... God says: I will give you rest! (Matthew 11:28-30)
You say: 'Nobody really loves me'... God says: I love you! (John 3:16 & John 3:34 )
You say: 'I can't go on'... God says: My grace is sufficient! (II Corinthians 12:9 & Psalm 91:15)
You say: 'I can't figure things out'... God says: I will direct your steps! (Proverbs 3:5- 6)
You say: 'I can't do it'... God says: You can do all things! (Philippians 4:13)
You say: 'I'm not able'... God says: I am able! (II Corinthians 9:8)
You say: 'It's not worth it'... God says: It will be worth it! (Roman 8:28 )
You say: 'I can't forgive myself'... God says: I forgive you! (I John 1:9 & Romans 8:1)
You say: 'I can't manage'... God says: I will supply all your needs! (Philippians 4:19)
You say: 'I'm afraid'... God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear! (II Timothy 1:7)
You say: 'I'm always worried and frustrated'... God says: Cast all your cares on ME! (I Peter 5:7)
You say: 'I'm not smart enough'... God says: I give you wisdom! (I Corinthians 1:30)
You say: 'I feel all alone'... God says: I will never leave you nor forsake you! (Hebrews 13:5)

Hey Al,
Thanks for this post. I needed those gentle yet honest reminders today as I think I felt almost all of those today alone. Thanks!
Can't wait to hear about your adventures and time in Nicaragua.
