FAITH

Lord, give me faith -- to live from day to day,
With tranquil heart to do my simple part,
And, with my hand in thine, to go thy way.

Lord, give me faith -- to trust, if not to know;
With quiet mind in all things thee to find,
And, child-like, go where thou wouldst have me go.

Lord, give me faith -- to leave it all to thee,
The future is thy gift; I would not lift;
The veil thy love has hung between it and me.

"Brain Control"

"But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do."

~ Psalms 1:2-3 (NLT)

SISTAH DECLARATION:
I will think about the things that honor God, and fill my life with a hunger for more of the Word!!

If you're going to win the battle of the mind and defeat your enemy, where you focus your attention is crucial. The more you meditate on God's Word, the strong you'll become and the more easily you'll win the victories.

Too many people don't realize the difference between meditating on the Bible and reading the Bible. They like to think that whenever they read God's Word, they're absorbing the deep things of God. Too often people will read a chapter of the Bible, and when they get to the last verse, they have little idea of what they have read. Those who meditate on God's Word are those who think -- and think seriously -- about what they're reading.

Be careful what you think about. The more you think about good things, the better your life will seem. The more you think about Jesus Christ and the principles He taught, the more you become like Jesus and the stronger you grow. As you grow, you win the battle for your mind.

If you are, or were ever, a church-going woman, then there is a high likelihood that you have experienced some form of male chauvinism or sexism in the church. Some churches are not nearly as sexist and chauvinistic as others, but many churches have some degree of it.
