Pressing On

God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change; Courage to change the things we can and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking,as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is; not as we would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if we surrender to His Will So we may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next, Amen
We pray the Serenity Prayer at the close of every Celebrate Recovery service where lives are being Redeemed, Renewed, Refreshed, Restored, Healed, Delivered and Set Free through Christ Jesus and to Him we give ALL glory, honor and praise!  Learning there are things in life we cannot change while others we can, is a matter of fact we have to accept, and acquiring wisdom helps us know the difference as Holy Spirit gives courage to do what is needed in both.
As we grow in grace we will face obstacles like anyone else, but as we learn to press in and press on toward the higher calling in Christ Jesus, we know our answer is on it's way if we don't give up; so we press on with confidence knowing that He who began the work in us will surely complete it to the day of Christ Jesus. We press on knowing that Victory is ours and because He lives; we shall live with Him forevermore. Amen!
So in our daily struggles we will not be discouraged but remain steadfast, refusing to give up! "Weeping may endure for the moment, but Joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5), Praise God!. We will remain strong through each challenge, through loss of loved ones; through those things we cannot change, and we will stand firm on His Word! We will allow the Word to grow down deep inside us, putting it ever before us; on note cards, post-it notes, even on the door posts, because we know that God is Forever Faithful to honor His Word and hears our faintest cries; so our weeping may endure for a moment but oh the joy that comes in the morning as our Heavenly Father wraps His loving arms around us and ignites His blessings within us; recreating, restoring, reviving, and refreshing us anew! 
God cares more than we could ever realize, so we will trust Him and not be discouraged. Now is not the time to slack off; Now is the time to press on in faith believing!  Soon our wait will be over and sweet victory will be ours; All In God's way, In His will, and in His perfect time!  Press on dear friend, and don't lose hope. Your answer is just around the corner!  Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend, God loves you and so do I~~~
