This morning, before I even get out of bed, I will speak this morning mantra over my heart. I call it my Gospel Affirmation, because if you’re going to speak something over yourself every day it might as well be the truth of the Gospel, right? Let’s start our days focused on Christ, not ourselves.
I don’t really need to remember who I am. I need to remember the Great I AM.
I AM SURRENDERED.
I am weak. Lord, You are strong.
I have questions. You have the answers.
I will make mistakes. You make beauty from ashes.
I am broken. You specialize in restoration.
I will fall. You will uphold me with Your Mighty Right Hand.
I will rejoice, because You made this day.
I will work at my calling with all my heart as if I’m working just for You.
I will let my light shine, pointing others to the light of Christ.
I will offer grace, because You gave grace to me.
I will love, because You first loved me.
I will forgive, because You are forgiving.
I will not fear, because You are faithful.
Today, I might fail, but I’m on the winning team. I surrender my hopes, dreams, pains, needs and victories to Your Sovereign hand. Make me useful to Your Kingdom today, O Lord, and may this day in my life bring glory to You.”
Bring heaven into the ordinary moments of your day.

Hello. I do not have a comment, but a question. I have a nephew who is getting bullied relentlessly at school- even to the point that he asked the police officer in his school if he would get into trouble if he committed suicide. That broke my heart. The same day that happened, he came home to tell me instead of his parents. I told him that he is made in the image of God, and that Satan is working through those kids to bully him and steal his joy. The kids keep putting into his mind that he is gay; and he has a tough time finding boys who will play and talk to him. So, he talks and plays mostly with girls. The boys who will talk to him are trouble makers in school. He sometimes does do things that are effeminate. His parents do not monitor him the way they truly should with YouTube, and always find him gravitating toward shows and content that have heavy homosexual influences and themes. When I ask him why he watches those things, he says that he finds homosexuals more entertaining and fun than straight people. I know this is Satan’s agenda to get them when they are younger and younger, but God is stronger and mightier. Would you be able to give me some suggestions on what to do? His dad is the believer, but his mom is not. The dad is, many times, preoccupied with work, or does not engage with the kids as much. I will continue to pray for him, and I do pray with my nephew, when I can; but I just felt so broken and hurt when he told me he has thought about the ways he could kill himself. This happened yesterday, so I will be speaking to his dad about the situation today; but I would also like to ask you to pray for him as well. My nephew’s name is Emmanuel. Thank you, and God bless.
