Romans 15:13 --- "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust fully in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."

NEVER LET GO by David Crowder*Band
When clouds veil sun
And disaster comes
Oh, my soul
When waters rise
And hope takes flight
Oh, my soul
Ever faithful
Ever true
You I know
You never let go
When clouds brought rain
And disaster came
Oh, my soul
When waters rose
And hope had flown
Oh, my soul
Ever faithful
Ever true
You I know
You never let go
Oh, my soul
Overflows
Oh, what love, oh, what love
Oh, my soul
Fills with hope
Perfect love that never lets go
You never let go
Oh, what love, oh, what love
In joy and pain
In sun and rain
You're the same
Oh, You never let go
You never let go

The Phoenix - My Chains are Gone, I've Been Set Free
The lowest figure (dark colors) depicts the discouraged and depressed person within chains (struggling with the disease or situation)
With the middle figure, the dark color starts to change to more brilliant colors. The chain is breaking and the person is rising (healing process...psychological, physical, spiritual or mental) and getting back on her feet
The last figure in standing position is looking upwards, stretching her hands out in praise for the healing, not necessarily from the illness, but from the discouragement ("a sacrifice of praise" ... praising God despite the circumstances ... a renewing of the mind)
The sun in the middle is about the grace and the glory of God!

"I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" -- Psalm 116:1-2

I am a blessed wife to a WONDERFUL man, a busy mom to a beautiful son and daughter born in India, and most importantly, a person who believes in and follows God and His precious Son, Jesus Christ.
I praise God for His healing in my life, both of my body and soul, for the freedom and joy Jesus gives me, and for Jesus forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life as a free gift which I will never deserve, but a gift for which I will always, always be thankful!
God loves us all, regardless of our background or mistakes we have made, and He can and WILL save anyone who surrenders their life and heart to follow Jesus and make Him the absolute Lord of their life. He will pull you out of whatever pit you have dug yourself into, and give you a new life.
Salvation is free - please pray to God to ask for forgiveness for the past and you can be sure of eternal life in the future and a fulfilled awesome life now! It's not always easy, but so-o-o-o worth it!!!
Get a Bible and start with the book of Mark in the New Testament to read more about Jesus - He can and WILL change your life and He will fill that empty place you feel deep down in your soul - then find a group of believers near you to help you learn more about following Jesus.
God works miracles and He loves you so very much!!

"I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord." -- Psalm 40:1-3
