My biggest struggle is a very critical, emotionally abusive mother that now has dementia. Several years back I finally learned how to set up boundaries with her and live my life for myself, my husband and our 3 daughters. Verses on judgement have helped me tremendously! My self esteem is something I struggle with everyday but definitely not through eating like I used to (I use to weigh close to 400lbs and I’m now under 200lbs). It took until I was 50 to realize so very much but I now live each day to its fullest and to make a difference along the way.
One of my biggest struggles is fear and how easy it’s been for Satan to put this on my path. Last summer I was deep into reading the whole Bible when I started feeling major anxiety while reading the Old Testament. I was feeling as if God was yelling at me and telling me how awful of a person I was! I began to dread opening my Bible and most days I couldn’t pull myself together to even read any of it. It was not until this Bible study (specifically session 4) that I realized that it was Satan whispering those fears into my mind as I read all the horrible things that happened to sinners in the Old Testament! How easily we forget that Satan knows the Bible as well as we do and he will use God’s very words against us! Same as what he did to Jesus in the desert but Jesus did not sin! I have since overcome this fear (through intense prayer) and I am happy to say that the Bible is once again my favorite book and is read daily! We must remember that we fight not for victory but from a place of victory! We have overcome him because Jesus fought for us and won! Can I get an Amen?! 🥰
One of my biggest struggles and strongholds is being alone. I have an issue with binging when I am alone. It’s a habit I’ve had for a very long time. I am constantly praying for God to take it away. All the declarations I’ve written down have to do with God being with me. I will never leave you or forsake you. Your God is with you wherever you go. I am with you always. I will strengthen you. I will help you. Thank you for this challenge. I pray it is helpful and look forward to what God does in my life this coming year.

Nicki, how is your son doing and how are you holding up?
He is doing well recovering, some pain still but overall, great! Thank you for asking. :)
I’ve been praying and wondering, glad to hear all went well and hopefully with every day the pain subsides a little more ♥️🙏🏻
