Leave Your Worries With God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Eight years ago, I was listening to The Winans and Anita Baker’s “Ain’t No Need To Worry.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—

Ain’t no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

There’s a fear of night fall,
when darkeness comes and covers all the day.
Sometimes we feel pain, 
but there are things that we can change, just pray.

Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

Troubles come, but they do past,
heartaches, hurts, oh but, they don’t last always.
Sometimes we feel pain, 
but there are things that we can change, just pray.

Ain’t no need to worry,
what the night is gonna bring,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

It’ll be all over in the morning.

Makes no different how dark the night,
if you trust in God, it’ll be alright;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

It makes no difference how long the day,
trust in God, He’ll make a way;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

Weeping will last, but only for awhile,
but when the sun shines, you’ll wear a smile;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

And I say, thank you Jesus,
in the presence of all those who hear my voice;
(it’ll be all over in the morning).

In the morning, the morning,
it’ll be all over in the morning.

It’ll be all over in the morning.

“Ain’t No Need To Worry” by The Winans & Anita Baker

I needed this reminder that trouble doesn’t always last and that God is with us even when we’re experiencing pain. He’s a good God.

I pray you have a lovely day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Quietness Is Necessary

Shaun Bradford
Resting in God’s peace.

I believe we could all use a bit of quietness right now. There’s a lot of noise going on. I’m going to unplug for a minute…just a minute. I thought about scheduling my posts for a few days, but that ain’t gonna happen. I can barely schedule them hours in advance because sometimes I change my mind about what I want to share. So…yeah…only a minute. If it’s in the Lord’s will, I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow.

Love you!♥️

Shaun

P.S. Keep the prayers going.🙏🏽♥️

Drown Out The Noise

Shaun Bradford

The song of the hour is Smokie Norful’s “I Need A Word.” The song says (Lyrics: Musixmatch)—

Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So, Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You

Oh, I need a word
Tell me which way to turn
I need a word
Tell me which way I should go
I need a word

To tell me just what to do
Please, send a word
God, I need to hear from You
Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
I need a word from You

Drown out the noise so you can hear God’s voice—which is what I’m finally doing because there’s absolutely nothing I can do at the moment.

Yes, drown out the noise. God is speaking.

Guess what He’s saying?

Trust Me.

I got you.

Smile.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

An On Time Word

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning.☀️

I must remember that I am God’s child.

This memory made me smile. It’s so timely. So many can use a little encouragement at the moment, including myself.

Over the past few days, I have watched my lifelong dream of a kinder, healthier, and safer world crumble before my eyes. First, the president withdrew us from the Paris Climate Agreement, and then the World Health Organization (this one hurt!). Now, there is uncertainty regarding the future of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. If another outbreak, of any kind, were to occur, no one would know about it. This means we will be unable to prevent avoidable deaths. And then there’s everything else that moved us forward as a nation that’s now setting us back. So, yeah… this has been one tough week.

Soooo….

Seeing the words “Be Encouraged” made me smile and momentarily gave me a sense of hope.

I know God is with us. I know God is in control. I also know that certain things have to happen for better to come. Since the beginning of time, there hasn’t been an era without conflict, a great disaster, or some form of devastation. Well, now it’s our time.

I’m staying in prayer and trusting God. I won’t say too much, but God had already prepared me for this right before my 50th birthday. At the time, I didn’t understand what He was saying, but now I do.

Y’all, I know God’s got us. I don’t doubt that at all. However, I am still human, and my heart hurts.

This is all I have at the moment. I pray you have an amazing day!

Stay encouraged.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 53

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Woke up this morning singing Kirk Franklin’s “Conquerors”. Then, I came across these two messages in my Facebook memories.

Whew! This message is right here. This is exactly what God’s been telling me to do. I keep saying, “I’m listening, God; I hear you, God.” However, as we’ve all experienced (and I know I’m not alone in this), doing so becomes difficult at times when the facts seem overpowering. But I’m holding on. The crazy thing is God has never not taken care of me. He’s always been faithful. So why is it difficult to stay focused on His instructions?

I guess I’m beginning to sound like Joel because I ended last year with this exact message—I’m taking the limits off God and myself. Y’all, why do I want to say, “This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. …” IYKYK😁

I needed both messages this morning. Thank You, God.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 52

Shaun Bradford

“Made A Way” by Travis Greene is the song of the hour. The song says—

You made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we’re standing here
Only because you made a way
You made a way

July 2021

I shared the statement above a few months after I became a full-time entrepreneur. God had my back then, and He still has it today—I needed the reminder I received earlier while in shopping (see “Often, Easier Said Than Done”).

This morning, I felt myself falling into the trap of just because I couldn’t see anything happening, nothing was happening. Y’all, I had done all I could in my power and had moved on. The last thing I expected was to receive that particular call and on a holiday. I guess that was God’s way of letting me know He still has my back. All I need to do is rest in Him, be still, and move when He instructs me to do so.

I’m listening, God.♥️

Often, Easier Said Than Done

Shaun Bradford

Here’s what a shared on January 20, 2023:

In tears right now because I am experiencing a moment of God working in real time. While in the middle of writing this post—while in Walmart trying to buy things for the snow and freezing temps headed my way—thinking about “often, easier said than done,” I received a phone call from a client to schedule an appointment. Here I am trying to figure things out and God is already working things out.

The message—When God says He’s got you and to be still, He means He’s got you! Be still!! ♥️

Now, I’m in here crying… Let me hurry up and leave.

Love you,

Shaun
