Episode 405 // God’s Double Blessings: The Basics and How to Find Hope, Even With Life’s Hardest Trials [“Where Is God In My Mess?”]

Welcome to Circle Time for the Soul! 🎙️ 

It’s Monday, and I’m thrilled to dive into another week of spiritual growth and reflection with you, Sis! This episode is packed with encouragement, scripture, and the powerful reminder of how God works all things for our good—even in our toughest moments.

✨ In This Episode, We’ll Cover:

1. Sermon Reflections:
   Diana shares a message from Dr. Charles Stanley’s sermon, A Passing Opportunity. Through the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52, we’re reminded of the importance of recognizing and acting on the opportunities God places before us. Just as Jesus stopped to meet the need of a blind beggar, He’s ready to meet you wherever you are today.
2. Biblical Affirmation:
   Ephesians 3:12 encourages us:
   "In Him and through faith in Him, we may approach God with freedom and confidence."

Declare this truth over your life: “My confidence is in Christ alone. Because His Spirit lives in me, I can do everything He calls me to do.”

3. Devotional Focus – Where is God in My Mess? by Joyce Meyer:
   Today’s reading, The Double Blessing, explores how God can bring beauty from our pain. Using Isaiah 61:7, Joyce shares how God transforms our trials into testimonies, offering us a double portion of blessing for the troubles we endure. Diana reflects on her personal journey and emphasizes the importance of hope, forgiveness, and trusting God’s faithfulness through life’s messes.
4. A Call to Community:
   Facing challenges alone is tough, Sis! Surround yourself with godly encouragement by joining our free Facebook group, Devotional Discussions for Christian Women. It’s a space to connect, share, and grow in faith together.

✨ Thought of the Day:
“What is something you need to work on most in the middle of a moment or season of trouble?”

🙏 Prayer:
"Dear Lord, help me to forgive those who have wronged me and to trust that even in my darkest days, You are right there with me. Let me have faith that You have a plan for my life and will bless me in ways I cannot imagine. I choose to believe that something good is going to happen to me today and every day! In Jesus’ name, amen."
