Matthew chapter 4 verses 9-11.
"I'll give it all to you," he said, "if only you will kneel and worship me."
"Get out of here, Satan," Jesus told him. "The Scriptures say, Worship only the Lord God. Obey only Him." Then Satan went away, and the angels came and cared for Jesus.

And the angels will come and care for you too. They will strengthen you and help you as you step away from your old life of worries and anxieties and into life with Jesus.
   It is a fight because we think we love the stuff that we have, that we worked so hard to get and hold onto. But we are missing God. We are struggling because the one who tells us to rely upon Him is not even present. How stubborn is that. You probably do not even know you are doing it, yet each and everyday you face challenges that you struggle to overcome.
   You have a loving God right in front of you, who has already shown you His love through Jesus. So, tell Satan to "Go away, for you worship only the Lord God, and obey only Him."
   With God you are protected and loved as His child. That brings you peace and joy, in a world that makes it so easy to get drawn in by the want for treasures and emotional relations. And remember with God, Jesus has made the way clear for all people, no matter how mixed up we are or how low we feel, to be able to come to God and ask for His help.
   A new life is as close as asking for it. All you need to do is believe that Jesus can help you and that God is true to His promises. We all love to feel welcome and excepted. God wants that joy to be in your heart all the time. The joy of being thankful to Him for His blessings. The joy of being able to bring your worries and concerns to Him knowing that He cares and that He is the one you are looking to for help.
   Not yourself, but trusting God to guide you and lead you on the right paths. With your focus on Him, He gives you the wisdom and understanding needed to be successful. You see, He wants you to trust Him and not your old desires. Mistakes will still get made, but you are trying your best to obey and live a right life that is pleasing to God. The Holy Spirit will remind you to watch out and fight back.
   It is the wonderful love of God that brought Jesus, to make the way clear for us, so that we can forever live with God. As our Father, He will keep you close. He will teach you with love and you will forever love Jesus because He showed us how to be set free.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and our new life with You. 😊

For I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, with the intention that you be slaves no longer; I have broken your chains and will make you walk with dignity."
