You are valuable to God! Yes, YOU! :)

Regardless of what others say you are a child of God. You are valuable to him and he cares about you.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Psalm 139: 14
I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

God will carry you through your week :)

You dont have to do it alone. :) Cast your cares, your worries, your anxieties on him. He WILL come through for you :)

Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will n
ever let the righteous be shaken.

The Holy Spirit Equips Us

The Holy Spirit Equips us for whatever God has in store for us. 

It was after his baptism ( Matthew 3:13-17 )  that Jesus' Ministry began and when Jesus was baptized, The Holy Spirit came down like a dove. It rested on him and EQUIPPED HIM for ministry. Equipped him for his work as the divine-human Messiah.

Luke 4: 18

'The spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to reach the good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.

Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Fellowship with Other Christians is IMPORTANT!!

It is so important that we surround our selves with fellow believers, and fellowship with them regularly. 
Here is one reason:
The devil builds his strongholds by First feeding us lies. He then begins to isolate us, separate us form other Christians. 
" Once they are alone..........their minds can be influenced quite easily, and without the benefit of good teaching and the support of other believers, they fall prey to his allurements". 

-Discovering the Secret to a successful prayer life

How does the Devil build Strongholds?

Ever heard the term "Pulling Down Strongholds" ? 

Ever wondered how the devil builds up strongholds? 

( Referring to the strongholds the enemy tries to have over our lives, not stronghold as in God )

"A Spiritual stronghold is built with different materials so that Satan is able to contain us.He tries to cause each Christian to become surrounded by a restraining wall that will limit that person's freedom..............................
So how does he actually manage to collect all the " bricks" that he needs to build his stronghold?
First of all, the " father of lies " begins by impressing all manner of wrong thoughts into your thought-life -- thoughts such as, " They don't love you, " or " Someone is saying bad things about you", or any other lies from a multitude of lies. The truth of the matter is, were you to confront those whom you perceive to be the source of the problem and explain how you feel, they would probably be utterly surprised and reveal that there was no truth to base your felling or thought upon...........................................
Secondly, Satan starts to isolate individual Christians. Once they are alone, they become more vulnerable. Their minds can be influenced quite easily,and without the benefit of good teaching and the support of other believers, they fall prey to his allurements. 
For example, a person might begin to think that there is a whispering campaign about him or her. Then, one Sunday morning, the pastor greets some people but neglects to acknowledge that person. Right away, Satan attacks their mind with, Does the Pastor have something against me? And why is that sister looking at me like that? What is she thinking? "
