A friend shared with me an experience she had while going through chemotherapy. After her treatments she would come home, lie on the couch, unable to do anything but stare at the walls. While she was alone in the room, she felt she was never alone. She felt the clear presence of angels with her. As a result, she never felt afraid. She had a sense that others were there taking care of her.

During my deepest points of loss or crisis, I too never felt alone … when I got still. Whether I was a 17-year-old lying in a ditch after a car wreck waiting for someone to find me, or alone in a hospital after a miscarriage, or after losing my mom and my marriage… I was not alone. I felt the presence of God’s Spirit and more… the presence of angels.

I believe that in our extreme situations, angels are with us. They are probably there all the time, but in those desperate moments the veil between the spirit world and the physical world is paper thin. We feel like if we looked hard enough, we’d see someone sitting in that chair beside us, holding space for our healing, sending us love and light.

The next time you find yourself at the limit of what your body, heart or mind can take… look around and know that you are not alone. Allow yourself to get quiet and feel angels near. Receive what they are offering.

When you truly understand that you are not alone, that God and angels are on your side, you have the confidence – God’s confidence to know that nothing is impossible. (From my soon-to-be-released book, “Confidence Rising! Trust Your Heart. Be Yourself. Bless Lives“)

How the Challenge Works

Step 1: Ask God each day,“What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”

Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.

Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.

Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
