Manage episode 503252377 series 3661710
In this heartfelt episode of Unrelated Sisters: Truth & Grace Conversation, Shannon and Deb does a follow from last week season of weariness, disappointment, and how easy it is to let the whispers of the enemy steal our peace. Through raw honesty and real-life struggles, they uncover how obedience to God shifts chaos into clarity, and how choosing joy—even when it doesn’t feel natural—leads to freedom.
This week’s reminder: Happiness is a feeling, but joy is a choice. The sisters discuss John 16:33 and Galatians 6:9, revealing the power of saying “yes” to God, rejecting the lies of the enemy, and finding rest in His presence.
💡 If you’ve been battling self-doubt, perfectionism, or internal chaos, this episode will encourage you to hold every thought captive, embrace authenticity, and remember: your obedience unlocks peace.
✨ Bible Verses
- John 16:33 (NIV): “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
- Galatians 6:9 (NKJV): “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
- Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV): “…for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
💬 Encouraging Words
Sis, you don’t have to live in chaos or let your emotions dictate your worth. The enemy whispers lies—“you’re not enough, you’ve failed, no one cares”—but God speaks truth. You are chosen, you are equipped, and He has already overcome what you’re facing.
When joy feels lost, don’t wait for the feeling—step into the action. Shout for joy. Sing for joy. Dance for joy. Sometimes your breakthrough comes after your praise. Remember, obedience brings freedom, and freedom brings rest.
🙏 Prayer to Help Them Pray
“Father, thank You for reminding me that joy is not based on my circumstances but on Your presence in my life. Help me to silence the lies of the enemy and hold every thought captive to Your truth. Teach me to obey quickly and trust that Your ways bring peace. When I feel weary, remind me that You are my strength, and in due season, I will see the harvest of the good You’ve started in me. Today I choose joy. Today I choose obedience. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
