6 INTRODUCTION For godly women, life is not always a bed of roses. Many times it can get hard and seem unbearable. The Bible reminds us that each day we will be persecuted and faced with all kinds of trials and tribulations. Therefore, we can benefit greatly from daily reciting aloud God s promises, Word, and provisions to us. In this powerful ebook you will find affirmations or words of encouragement that will inspire you so that Jesus, not Satan, will have the victory in your life. These are the same affirmations that I, a woman of God, speak over my soul and being each morning so that it is easier for me to live a life that is acceptable and pleasing in God s sight. And so that I can be a blessing wherever I go and bring glory and honor to our holy Father s name by my lifestyle.

7 To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these qualities is blind or shortsighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you. (2 Peter 1-11 NASB)

8 HOW TO BEST USE THIS BOOK Each day when you arise, recite out loud the verses from this book. If necessary, repeat until you feel it clinging to your soul. At times, various verses may seem to speak directly to you from the page. Focus on them the most. Recite each day, especially when you feel blue or depressed and need to be encouraged and have your spirit uplifted.

9 As you journey through life, expect each verse to have a lighter or deeper meaning. Even when you feel spiritually strong, don t fail to recite these words of affirmation each day. They will prevent you from growing weak, which is easy to do without realizing it, and will help you mature in Christ and become perfect or whole. You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.
