But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

The reality of life is we will have times when our heart is broken, our fears overwhelm us and sin will humble us after failing God. The world in which we live is most certainly fallen and, left to our own strength we can find ourselves defeated and lacking strength to face another day. As a child of God, we need to always remember that Jesus bore our sins, He took our punishment and every worldly attack so that we can have confidence to stand in the midst of pain, fear and failure. He already suffered these afflictions on your behalf, do not let them suffer on my friend. 

If you are feeling the pains of the world, release them to God. Through Jesus Christ, we have victory over sin....and Jesus has overcome the world. You do have hope for tomorrow and can walk in the strongest confidence knowing the One who paid your sin debt, lives inside you. Once we truly understand the strength that is available to us, we can face any challenge, recover when we fail God and heal from the most tragic of circumstances. 

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is victory that has overcome the world - our faith" 1 John 5:4. 

Friend, no longer feel defeated, you have victory in Jesus Christ. Walk forward in confidence today. God bless.
