The devil...such a loser!
Since the beginning of time the devil has yet to claim victory over Christ, don't worry with Christ you are on the winning team.

"The Lord will Provide"
You know why I like talking to my family about what God is doing in their lives because I God always uses them to show me wonderful things about the truth of His Word. After talking with my sister today the Lord really open my eyes about trusting in His Provision and not my vision.
It is God's Will that we should have a Savior who could bear the punishment of our sin and take the penalty of death on our behalf (Isaiah 53). None of us could provide what was necessary or had the strength to endure the punishment in order to accomplish God's Will. We are all reliant upon God to provide for us the needed provision to accomplish His Will. That provision was in Jesus (Romans 5:8-11). Because whatever God Wills He provides for. Funny how we trust God enough to provide for us what is required for our redemption and salvation but we struggle to believe that God will provide what we need in order to do His Will here on Earth.
I mean think about it God has a purpose and plan for everyone on Earth. The first part of the plan is for you accept Jesus to (John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9), the second is simply it is just to do His Will (Matthew 28:18-20). For each and everyone of us God has a plan that His has chosen for us to so we can accomplish His Will (Jeremiah 29:11). His plan does not promise us fame and fortune and it does not guarantee we will like every part of it. But the fact remains wherever He calls us to go, whatever He calls us to do, whenever He calls us to do it God will provide what we need to do it. So why worry about the provision when the Provider is your Lord? Simple question to ask but we all seem to struggle with it. I am not saying you do not need to work and money is going to fall out of the sky. All I am saying is stop fretting over what you lack and start believing that whatever God has willed in your life, He will provide what you need to do it. Whether it is people to help mentor you, a place to live, a job to have, or the strength to do to endure. He will always provide, you only need to be obedient and follow after Him (Matthew 6: 25:-34). The same God that provided what you needed for your soul will provide the things you need to do His Will. And the cool thing is this, in the end the only person that can receive the Glory is Jesus! How awesome is that! Stay focused you can do this!

"It's hard to complain when you are praising"
Trusting in God leads us to praise God but doubting in God leads to complain against God.

"Monsters under my bed"
At night we tend to find ourselves left alone to battle our thoughts. The worries of the day, fears of tomorrow, and uncertainty of the outcome of our problems keep us up. They are the monsters under our bed that lay in wait to attack us. They remind us of how weak and frail we are. The show us our inability to control life and solve its problems. For those who do not know Christ, this is something they face every night. So they turn to addictions, spend countless nights club hopping, and/or find other ways to stop the noise of their worried soul.
But you Christian are not like them. You have a Solution. You have a shelter you can run to. Between you and your problems stands The Almighty. You can trust Him, He will not fail you.
He tells you not to fear the terrorist of the night, the seeds of worry that grow in your thoughts throughout the day, the monster of problems that lurk in your inner most thoughts, or the dreadful reports you received during the noon hour. We need not fear any of these because Christ is our shield and protection. Because His faithfulness to us does not wane or falter. He cannot grow weak, weary, or tired. Our problems bow in His presence and submit to His Will.
The monster of life my hide under our beds but he is no match for The Lion of Judah. We call our Protector by name and He answers, He is more than our body-guard, He is our Father who guards our soul. There is none like Him and they will never be one like Him. He is the Irreplaceable, One and Only, True and Just, Holy and Worthy God. And we rest assured knowing that the One who watches us does not sleep nor slumber. It is our hope in Him that renews our strength. Because He has given us rest and has troubled our troubles so that they turn and flee. He stays up so we can sleep, so rest easy tonight. Your Guardian is on duty.
