Holiday season is upon us once again. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. But, once again, the festive season is upon us. We'll eat too much, spend too much money and wear ourselves out. Before it's over, the majority of people will begin to complain about the holiday season and forget the reason we celebrate it. So if you begin to feel overwhelmed, as I do sometimes, get away by yourself for a few minutes, take out your Bible and go over these things to be thankful for.

1. I am free from failure, for "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13
2. I am free from want, for "my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus". Philippians 4:19
3. I am free from fear, for "God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". 2 Timothy 1:7
4. I am free from doubt, for "God hath given to every man the measure of faith". Romans 12:3
5. I am free from weakness, for "the Lord is the strength of my life". Psalms 27:1
6. I am free from the power of Satan, for "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world". 1 John 4:4
7. I am free from defeat, for "God always causeth me to triumph in Christ Jesus". 2 Corinthians 2:14
8. I am free from ignorance, for "Christ Jesus is made unto me wisdom from God". 1 Corinthians 1:30
9. I am free from sin, for "the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth me from all sin". 1 John 1:7
10. I am free from worry, for "I am to cast my cares upon him". 1 Peter 5:7
11. I am free from bondage, for "where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty". 2 Corinthians 3:17
12. I am free from condemnation, for "there is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus". Romans 8:1

Rejoice this holiday season, and don't let it get you down. No matter which way you turn, God has you covered. May God richly bless you.

Happy Holidays,
Love & Prayers,
