Prodigal: That is a GIANT Bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Yes, but he has a big heart also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes from the book Winning Your Daily Spiritual Battles by Linda Evans Shepherd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Lord, Forgive me for cowering in fear while the giants in my life taunt me. I thank you that I can put on your name and face these giants. I not only put on your name but also call on your name to cancel the assignments of these giants. Nail these assignments to the cross, erasing them from my life. I ask you, Lord; to give me victory through the power of the name and the blood of Jesus and through the empowerment of God’s Holy Spirit. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. Ephesians 6:15 NLT<\/p>\n\n\n\n
