"We cry freedom from the chains that bind your children Lord,
Freedom from the chains that bind our praise to You,
Freedom from the lies of the enemy."
Seems like lately it has been easier to believe the lies of the enemy:
You are all alone...
You aren't any good...
You'll never finish school...
You can't do this, you don't have the strength...
Why are you even here...
You think that God loves you? Why would He let you go through all of this...
He has forgotten all about you...
Your wife and kids would be better off it you weren't around...
Even if you do finish school, you'll never become any kind of tool that He would want to use...
Sometimes I think that I need to remember some of the True promises of God:
"I will never leave you or forsake you." Joshua 1:5
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8

"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go." Genesis 28:15
"I have engraved you on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:16
"I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people." Leviticus 26:12
"Commit your works unto the Lord, and your thoughts will be established." Proverbs 16:3
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm 91:1
"I am the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth...those who hope in Me will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 28, 31
"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" Jeremiah 33:3
"I am with you, I am mighty to save. I will take great delight in you. I will quiet you with my love. I will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
"I am your hiding place, I will protect you from trouble and surround you with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalm 32:7-8
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you...plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

You know the truth, and you know that so much of this is lies and fear.
We need you, isn't it obvious, when you are heading out for class and James has huge tears running down his face, you missed the conversation last night with Kosette as we left prayer at the wall, she was upset that we were leaving without you...And honey, I love you and want you and need you every day. We are better off when you are with us.
We still believe that God called you here to become a Biblical Counselor and minister...think how much greater He can use you by bringing you through this fire.
I love you so much!
