💞Encouraging Mondays: “Love That Holds Us Steady”
😊Good, Blessed Encouraging Mondays, Family, Friends & New Encouragers!
✝️Today’s message is entitled:
“Love That Holds Us Steady”
📖SCRIPTURE READING — (NLT)
✝️Romans 8:38
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.”
🤔 ENCOURAGING MONDAYS REFLECTION
⚓“Anchored in a Love That Does Not Let Go”
💞Family…
God is inviting us today to rest in a truth that does not shift with circumstances, emotions, or seasons. His love is not fragile. It does not waver when life feels uncertain, heavy, or overwhelming.
This is not about how tightly we are holding on to God — it is about how securely God is holding on to us.
The Lord is gently reminding us that His love is not conditional, transactional, or dependent on our performance. God’s presence brings steadiness where life feels shaky, peace where anxiety tries to settle, and reassurance where fear attempts to speak louder than truth.
When everything around us feels unstable, God’s love remains the anchor. It holds us steady when we feel weak, weary, or unsure of the next step. This love does not abandon us in the middle of the storm — it sustains us through it.
🗝️ Key spiritual truths highlighted today:
• Peace vs. fear
• Security vs. uncertainty
• Truth vs. lies
• Alignment vs. anxiety
🤔ENCOURAGING THOUGHT FOR TODAY
If you’ve been feeling:
• overwhelmed
• uncertain about the future
• emotionally stretched
Pause and remember:
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
You are not standing alone.
God is still holding you.
God is still covering you.
God is still faithful.
🍇TEMPLE CARE CHECK-IN
This journey is not about guilt or extremes.
It’s about awareness, stewardship, and grace.

• adjusting
• learning
• observing
And all of it still counts.
🤔Gentle Temple-Care Truths to Reinforce:
• Our bodies are God’s design
• Habits follow the heart
• Clean choices can be simple and convenient

🙏🏼CLOSING PRAYER
Perfect LORD,
Thank You for Your presence, Your patience, and Your unfailing love.
Help us rest in the assurance that nothing can separate us from You.
Bring our hearts into alignment with Your truth.
Shine on every place that needs peace, clarity, and renewal.
Help us walk honestly,
live intentionally,
and rest confidently in You.
In Jesus’s Powerful, Majestic Name,
we Praise and Pray,
Amen.
🙏🏼DAILY PROCLAMATION
Before we close, I want to invite you—only if you feel led—to say a daily proclamation with me.
This is the proclamation I return to daily.
Not out of perfection, but out of surrender.
From Survival to Surrender — My Daily Proclamation
God, today I stop negotiating with You.
I stop hiding parts of my life behind excuses, wounds, and fear.
I stop managing sin instead of surrendering it.
I stop calling survival “strength” when it is really exhaustion.
I release every attachment that feels good but pulls me away from truth.
I let go of relationships, habits, and cycles that soothe me temporarily but cost me spiritually.
I acknowledge what I already know:
what does not align with You cannot heal me.
Today, I surrender control.
I surrender comfort.
I surrender timing.
I surrender the false intimacy I’ve used to avoid true wholeness.
I choose alignment over appetite.
Obedience over urgency.
Healing over hiding.
God, I no longer want to survive — I want to live whole.
I invite You into every area I’ve kept guarded, delayed, or divided.
Lead my life.
Heal my heart.
Reorder my desires.
From this moment forward, I choose surrender —
not because I am weak,
but because You are strong.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
✝️CLOSING BLESSING
💕Much love for you all!
😊Have an amazingly Blessed day and week.
