I sensed God answering me to surrender not only to Him, but to confess to faithful friends the depth of my battle, past and present.

Perhaps this is the most difficult part about coming to a place of living free in the Spirit’s power: one must first come to a place of complete, vulnerable and transparent surrender.

I thought I was surrendered to Him, but every time I was in fellowship and considered confessing to others, I wouldn’t reveal the deep down struggles because of fear, pride and shame. I convinced myself I did not need community to help me break through – I just wanted it to be between God and me. It seemed so silly to me that I could fall for Satan’s ridiculous lies. So, the battle only continued.

One day, I slowly broke down and prayed for the right time with the right people to open up to.

During a women’s discipleship group, my friend had a vision for me. She saw crumpled pieces of paper in my right hand. 

She told me God wanted me to let them go so He could move forward in showing me His plan. I didn’t tell the group, but I knew the crumpled pieces of paper were all those feelings and acts of self-hatred that I had written down in a journal, torn out and crumpled up. But I was still carrying them around in my heart.

At the following week’s meeting, they prayed for me again. This time the Spirit broke into my heart and I felt His Presence so strongly. I started laughing uncontrollably in pure joy! There is unbelievable joy when Jesus is near! As my friends prayed for me, my laughter gradually turned to tears, and my friend asked me if there was something I wanted to confess so they could help me pray through it. After a long pause, I finally confessed my battle to my sisters, and it was so freeing.

Don’t Feel Alone – 7 Out of 10 Americans Are Unhappy with the State of the Union – We Are the Tide

(Above map from CNN at 9 am Wednesday morning on the day after the 2022 Election.  At this time, CNN shows House at 199 GOP and 178 Dem seats awarded.) 

As the morning sun rises across the nation, Americans are waking up to the storyline that the Democrats did much better than expected last night.   

This is shocking and disheartening to many Americans.

Don’t feel alone.  Most Americans agree that the country is going in the wrong direction. CNN reported that yesterday in the results of their exit polling.  (And this is from far-left CNN.) 

Looking at the US House map this morning you can see that the country is a sea of red.  Americans won big in many races.

We also know that there were results that never could have occurred in free and fair elections.  In Michigan, the corrupt Governor, SOS, and AG all won.  They were seriously disliked for their actions in the 2020 Election and with COVID.  It’s difficult to believe they won without massive cheating going on.

Anxiety Disorders Statistics

According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 13 individuals worldwide suffers from anxiety. The organization reported that anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders in the world with the most common anxiety disorder types being specific phobia and social phobia. Anxiety disorders affect 40 million adults in the United States ages 18 and older, or around 18% of the population any given year.

Panic disorder is more prevalent in woman than men and often has an onset during the late teen or early adulthood years.  Approximately 7.7 million individuals, age 18 and older, in the United States, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Available anxiety statistics tell us that only about a third of those suffering from anxiety disorders seek professional anxiety treatment, even though the disorders are decidedly treatable.

IT CAME TRUE: Analysis warns Democrats were plotting to steal elections in key battleground states during midterms

(Natural News) Everyone who can think independently and look at evidence knows that the Dinesh D’Souza-produced documentary “2,000 Mules” proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection was stolen from him.

As Revolver News reported on Nov. 4, 2020, in the early morning hours after Election Day, Trump was up by substantial numbers of votes in the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, all states he won four years earlier, only to ‘lose’ them by the end of the week after Democrats flooded deep-blue districts (like Philadelphia and Detroit, where Democrats own the political machines) with phony ballots.

Pennsylvania, in particular, is a hot mess. There, Trump was up by a walloping 700,000 votes on the night of Nov. 3, but wound up ‘losing’ to Joe Biden by thousands of votes four days later, because it took ‘so long to count’ the ballots. In actuality, readers may recall that Democratic strongholds in battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Michigan, shut down counting in the early morning hours, pledging to resume operations the next morning. That was unprecedented.

Worse, the report noted, many of the changes in election procedures were implemented by judges and secretaries of state and were in direct violation of existing state laws regarding the governing and handling of elections passed by the legislatures. Only, none of that mattered because not a single federal court or the U.S. Supreme Court would hear lawsuits brought by Trump’s campaign alleging that the changes made in the months and weeks before the election were illegal.

BIDEN ECONOMY: With Inflation at 40-Year Highs, 4.5 Million Americans Turn to Second Job

The number one issue in today’s midterms may be the economy.  This is not because it is good, it’s because the Biden economy is terrible. 

Last week the jobs report came out with bizarre numbers.  The report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed an increase in jobs.  But these numbers looked tainted as the measurements overall made no sense. 

A further review of these numbers today shows that more and more Americans are turning to second jobs to get by in the Biden economy.

21 Signs Of Emotional Invalidation In Your Relationship And How This Behavior Affects You

Checking Phone Mid-Conversation

When conversing with someone, there are few things ruder than being glued to your phone. Not only does it signal disinterest in what the other person is saying, but it’s also an invalidating action.

Sometimes, picking up a call is unavoidable. But if you’re expecting an important connection, politely let that be known at the beginning of the conversation.

“Everyone Has Problems. Get Over It.”

Playing “oppression Olympics” is rarely a good idea. Yes, everyone has problems. But that doesn’t mean our own pains don’t hurt.

Throwing a wide compassion net is commendable. Empathy, sympathy, and sensitivity are admirable qualities. Recognizing that everyone has their issues is laudable. But using that fact to shut people down is more often cruel than kind.
