What if you awakened each day to the sound of God’s voice saying, “You’ve got this!” Would it make a difference in the way you approached your day? Would it make a difference in you?

Hello everyone, and welcome to Strengthen Your Walk. I’m Kim Crabill and I invite you to join me in this new 10-part series titled, “Friend, You’ve Got This! – strategies and insights to strengthen you for life’s battles!”

Watch Friend, You’ve Got This! with Kim Crabill

Let’s face it, our world is a mess, and wouldn’t you agree that it is easy to become discouraged? And perhaps, you might even say, “What’s the use? What can I do that would really matter?” Well, it’s those very times you must know how to power up so that you never give up!

Rather than what you might think or say to yourself, God wants you to remember Who He is and what He has to say, “I am the Lord,” He declares in Isaiah 45:5 and, “I will strengthen you!”

Here’s what you must remember: Because you ARE striving to do what’s right, to MAKE a Godly difference in this messy world, you are placing yourself on the frontline of the battlefield! It’s as though you have the enemy’s target on your back.

But you know what? That’s OK, because God is here to help! God has impressed upon my heart that those of us on the frontline also need the tools to be “first responders;” to be able to access His Word quickly, right when we need it. Then, we can stand empowered and equipped, never giving up, but ready to fight and to win.

One night, as I got up to get a drink of water, anxious and discouraging thoughts filled my mind: Does what I’m doing even matter? What difference does it make? Maybe similar thoughts have crossed your mind. But let me ask you, do you think those thoughts would be from God? No! We know better than that! But just as I felt that target on my back, I also felt the presence of the Lord behind me, and He whispered, “Kim, you’ve got this!”

Let’s face it, ever since Eve in the garden, the enemy has used discouragement, fear, temptation, disappointments, and lies, to try to keep us from following God and fulfilling His calling on our lives. But, ever since Eve, God has been showing up. He’s always there, offering hope and a way out. Even in our darkest times, He reminds us that He has equipped us for battle! “I am the Lord, and there is no other; I will strengthen you, ” (Isaiah 45:5 NIV).

Our battles are not easy, and we know that. To quote Miss Clara in the film War Room, “To win the fight – to complete the mission – you’ve got to have the right strategy and the right resources, because victories won’t come by accident!” Let me ask you, are you in a battle? Do you want to prepare for a future battle? Then, join me on this journey. Together, let’s discover the biblical strategies and resources that will fortify us for each of life’s battles. Friend, there is no need to feel ill-equipped or weary! God is on our side. He is our strength, and because of that, we can courageously say, “I’ve got this – because God’s got me!”

Thank you for joining me. I pray God uses these words to Strengthen Your Walk!
