I have great news! My youngest made a decision to follow Jesus today! She has been tormented with a bout of fear lately. Bad dreams and such. Afraid to be alone. It has been pretty intense for her. She has been seeing those unavoidable billboards and costumes that Halloween bring to the stores. She is very unsettled by the sight of it all. Which is a good thing. Because at times I have feared her draw toward the dark side. Because of the great fear of evil, she has been asking me to pray for her and her mind.
Today, I took out the evangecube. We discussed Christ's death and resurrection. We discussed the full armor of God. We discussed how Jesus gives us a helmet of salvation and that helmet covers our mind. We discussed how we are in darkness without Jesus and when we follow Him we are in the light. We talked about how God is love and perfect love casts off fear. We talked about that kind of fear not coming from God but the enemy.
What the enemy wanted to use for evil, God used for good. After it was all said and done she was gripping on my every word. She hit a moment of desperation. She did not want to live with this tormenting fear any longer. She decided to follow Jesus. After she asked Jesus her whole countenance changed. She has been more peaceful and self-controlled. I am praising God for this. It is the best gift ever.

Praising God with you- there's no better decision than what your daughter decided about Who could take away all fear and give her LIFE.
So good to hear! God does calm our fears. So good to know He never leaves us or forsakes us! I'll never forget the thrill seeing my boys ask Jesus into their heart!!!!
