There have been so many moments in my life where I really needed to feel the presence of God. I needed to know He was there with me, that I was making the right choice, that I wasn’t facing these trials alone. But I felt, heard and saw nothing. Sometimes, if I’m honest, I wondered if God had left me. I would think that maybe I went down the wrong path, and He was thinking, “Nope. Not going there with her. Hasta la vista, I’m heading back to heaven.” • But that’s not true at all. The bible says: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39 • In those moments, when there is no tangible proof God is right there with you, this is when your faith will be tested and where you will grow closer to God than you ever have been. Here’s what I want you to do: You can’t hear Him, so let Him hear you. You can’t feel Him, so seek His face. You can’t see Him, so let Him see your praise. Yes, this is what I encourage you to do in those times: praise Him, say in faith, “ God, you ARE here with me,” keep praying and having quiet times reserved for you and Him, and read the word, reminding yourself of the truth. • This isn’t a formula to get what you want, but this will keep your faith strong when you want to give up hope. It will keep you focused on Christ, and that’s ultimately what will be your strength in these times. Stand in faith. Be encouraged. I’ve been there, some days I still go through this, so let me remind you that God loves you so much. • Seek out the goodness of God in your life. There IS good, and that is God. He’s still here. • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave https://www.instagram.com/p/B5IdQX_nK-O/?igshid=9hc1xwfhmpot

You will go where God said you will go. • Just felt to share an excerpt of a poem I wrote two years ago. Be encouraged, all you Princesses. • I AM the I AM, The Majesty on High I abide in you, not in a castle in the sky I am with you, My daughter, do not be afraid I will not leave you in the waters you wade You will not drown nor will you go under For My hand will sustain you with power like thunder A flash of light will follow you everywhere you go For when you go in My name, My light will flow All around you, inside you, to people on the street Miracles will happen as you abide in Me They’ll ask you why you are this way Tell them, “It’s Jesus, I just obey.” How pleased I am in you, Child of Mine How you desire to do My perfect will and in My perfect time You will ask and I will hear you You will seek and you will find You will knock and I will open For My love is always kind Be not afraid For I am with you If you hold to My hand You will see impossibility Happen through you. • Link to full poem: https://www.toallyouprincesses.com/2017/05/ask-me-anything/ • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #LetsPray #Poetry https://www.instagram.com/p/Byo_6YYnPeG/?igshid=4zjsb9y1g9kl

Your worship yesterday does not praise God today. Sing Him a new song. • Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. • Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! • Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity. Psalm 98 • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #Psalm98 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvb5vRVHlVI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19kifaz576ent

Lord, help me to love my family better. • We all fall short in our lives. You know it as well as I do. Our best efforts are not enough, and that’s why we need the Lord’s help. The good news is He is with us (John 16:13). • I used to feel ashamed to ask for help from God because I felt like I was bothering Him or that I was failing His expectations of me. Do those thoughts sound like they came from God? They did not, and the Lord was quick to remind me that Jesus died for me to be able to come to the Father without hesitation. Jesus opened the door for us to come to God at anytime of the day, in any place we are, and through any circumstance around us. • Many people have told me we should have an order in the way we come to God. First, praise; second, gratitude; third, repentence and lastly, asking requests. I think all those things are good, but I feel sometimes I focus more on the first three because they seem holier than asking God for help. In reality, humbling yourself to say, “God, I cannot do this alone,” is a state of heart that is pleasing to the Lord too. (Psalm 25:9) • Recently, I have asked God to help me love my family better. This is one place I struggle often and need more of Him. Today, I want you to know it’s okay to ask for God’s help in this life (Psalm 121:1-2). He’s there with you, waiting for you to come to Him (Psalm 46:1). We need God to follow God! • If you are struggling to break an addiction, come to Jesus (Psalm 50:15). If you have a hard time obeying God, come to Jesus. (Psalm 143:10) If you can’t see how to fix your relationship, come to Jesus. (Psalm 24:4-5) If you feel empty, come to Jesus (Psalm 23). If you need rest, come to Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30). • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #AskGod https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUSofZHuvW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nc5ke1x7ucil

God will not give up on you so don’t give up on yourself. • God has a specific purpose for each of us but without fail the enemy tries to turn our cheek to the left and right so we swerve off the path God has set before us, or stop running altogether. The enemy wants us distracted and discouraged so we take our eyes off Jesus, who enables us to do the impossible and empowers us to run this race. What the enemy fails to understand is that we do not run alone. • When the enemy puts blockades in front of you, God yells, “JUMP OVER IT! You can do it, I’m with you!” When people from the crowd say or do things that take you off guard, God shouts, “DON’T LOOK AT THEM! Listen to me, Child. Follow me, I’ll show you where to go and how to do what I’ve called you to do.” When things begin to happen all around you, the Lord says to you, “Do not fear for I am with you, Do not be afraid for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteousness right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10) • Princesses, be encouraged on this day. I know life comes with many challenges, but keep going, continue to praise God in every circumstance. He will surely help you in all that you have to do. He will give you wisdom, grace, and faith on this journey. Don’t quit. Don’t loose focus. God will not leave you. Just keep going back to Jesus, back to your love, and by faith, mountains will be moved. • Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #DontQuit https://www.instagram.com/p/BtK5O5vnApC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pr50649mxns5

Do not end your “I don’t know” with a period, but with a prayer. • For all those times you feel a sense of hopelessness, or when you simply do not have the answer, this poem is for you. • I do not know I cannot see My questions are Crowded in front of me Where should I go? Or should I stay? I do not know Where my head should lay I do not know How I can provide or If I am in relationship With the right guy What is my purpose? Why is there pain? What is the truth? My “I don’t know” remains. Yet, one thing I know This will stay true Though I do not know I always have You Lord, you know it all You know when I rise Where the flowers fall Where the sparrow lies Help me to understand If not, then to trust To have faith in You When I feel like giving up I do not have the answers My Jesus, I seek You This ends not with a period But with an exclamation of truth! I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to say But I give you my “IDK” Lord, show me your way I welcome you, today. • “And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.” Psalms 9:10 • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #TrustintheLord https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs38LY2H6_G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h54bv52utn0t

“'Lord, what about this man?' Jesus said to him... 'What is that to you? You follow me!’” - John 21:21,22 • “One of our severest lessons comes from the stubborn refusal to see that we must not interfere in other people’s lives. You see a certain person’s suffering, and you say—He shall not suffer, and I will see that he does not. You put you hand straight in front of God’s permissive will to prevent it, and God says—“What is that to thee [you]?” If there is stagnation spiritually, never allow it to go on, but get into God’s presence and find out the reason for it. Possibly you will find it is because you have been interfering in the life of another; proposing things you had no right to propose; advising when you had no right to advise. • When you do have to give advice to another, God will advise through you with the direct understanding of His Spirit; your part is to be so rightly related to God that His discernment comes through you all the time for the blessing of another soul. • Most of us live on the borders of consciousness—consciously serving, consciously devoted to God. The mature stage is the life of a child which is never conscious; we become so abandoned to God that the consciousness of being used never enters in. • When we are consciously being used as broken bread and poured-out wine, there is another stage to be reached, where all consciousness of ourselves and of what God is doing through us is eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint; a saint is consciously dependent on God.” - From Oswald Chambers’ Daily Devotional: My Utmost for His Highest • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLonely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #oswaldchambers https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQD2PlhYZy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2vj6zwnwqtzk

Go at your own pace. • Remember the story of the turtle and the rabbit? The rabbit was going so fast down his lane, he felt he had all the time in the world to finish the race, afterall, he was a rabbit and his opponent was a turtle. He took time to eat his snacks, take a nap, explore some other paths, and eventually decided to get back to the race. Lo and behold, that little turtle who was far behind, didn’t detour but kept on his path, he didn’t stop but continued on and you know what? He won that race. • When it comes to writing, I sometimes feel I ought to write more like all these other Instagrammers who write daily. But then God reminds me that I am not in their lane, He has a different schedule for me. Sure, it may look slow to others, but actually, if I go any faster I’ll get a ticket for exceeding God’s speed limit. So, I go at my own pace. • And Princesses, YOUR own pace is perfect. It may look like people around you are superceding you in their life, but stick to your lane, keep going and don’t stop. Climb over the bumps in the road and keep your eyes on the finish line. Don’t worry about what others have already done or all the things they have going on, just do what God has called you to do. Follow Him, be faithful and finish well... and forget about the rabbit. • #ToAllYouPrincesses #TAYPDevo #TAYP #QuotesForGirls #ChristianQuotes #BibleQuotes #GoodNewsFeed #WordOfTruth #DontGiveUp #ReadyToDie #SaveMe #shereadstruth #BeFoundMag #womenwriters #LifeQuotes #LifeGoals #IdentityInChrist #DaughterOfTheKing #WordOfGod #Devotional #soworthliving #HolySpirit #LoveStory #YouGotThis #IAmLovely #worthit #BeBrave #BeEncouraged #rabbitandhare https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKGVrsn1kI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=okz4k6h6ep7c
