At the end of the night at Empowered Jesus Girl 2019, stood an old wooden cross covered with the sins and struggles each girl was facing.

The altar was full, the tears were flowing, and sisters in Christ were kneeling together lifting each other up in prayers.

What a powerful reminder of how we should be every day! Kneeling at the cross, laying down our struggles, giving God complete control, and lifting each other up.

After the crowd left, the church was cleaned, and the room was left silent, I took down each tag off the cross and packed them away in a small box.

When I came across the box the next day, I took each tag out and prayed over it. From anxiety & depression, to friends and family issues, shame and guilt, bitterness, selfishness & doubt, anger and fear, each tag was a cry out for help from the Lord. Each tag represented a girl that needed God to help her through her pain.

Over 60 tags had anxiety, fear, or depression written on them. 30 said doubt, 23 shame, 42 friends/bad relationships. Many others with various struggles.

Whatever your tag said, whatever is blocking you from following God’s will for your life, it’s time to let it go and give it to Him.

Friday night, over 200 girls put their struggles on the cross and gave them to God, their path has been made clear, and they are working towards a closer walk with Christ.

What’s holding you back? What do you need to nail to the cross?

Make the decision today to follow God without distractions.

Leave them at the cross and walk away with peace that only God can grant you!

Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God”

May God Bless you and show you His grace every day!
