A Prayer for Forgiveness and Guidance

Hi, this is your daily infusion. Let's pray for your day.

Thank you God for grace, mercy, and the gift of life. Thank you for the act of forgiveness, and we pray that we are not prideful, causing us to hold grudges against our sisters and brothers. God, we ask that you will help us walk in forgiveness, knowing that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us.

God, we are thankful today for the gift of the Holy Spirit that lives within us, your comforter and keeper of our souls. It leads us and it guides us and keeps us on the holy path.

Father, I pray for those who are struggling today. I pray that when they feel lost and helpless, that you reassure them that they are not alone. We thank you, God, and we trust you. Even when we don't trust what we see, let us be confident in knowing that you will work out all our problems and meet every one of our needs. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

God, we pray that you will let us be the shining light in this world so that others may see and be inspired by our works. Be that example in our community by watching what we say and how we act and striving to be more like Jesus every day.

Now, Lord, for those of us who are physically and mentally tired and frustrated, please strengthen our body, hearts, and minds. Give us energy to continue moving forward.

Beauty in the Ashes: Finding Hope in Trials

Welcome to Episode 9 of the Faith Infusion Podcast with your host, Minister Demetria Lea. This episode explores the profound concept of "Beauty in the Ashes," delving into how God can transform our trials and tribulations into something truly remarkable.

We discuss the symbolism of ashes in the Old Testament and how they signify mourning and repentance, leading to humility and renewal. Discover how the promise of trading beauty for ashes gives us strength to persevere through life's challenges, loss, and pain.

Minister Demetria Lea illustrates how God’s redemptive power can bring joy, peace, and goodness even in the darkest times through biblical references and inspiring examples. Tune in to find hope, encouragement, and the assurance that God is with you every step of the way.

Cut from a Different Cloth: You’re not supposed to Fit In

Welcome to Episode 8 of The Faith Infusion Podcast entitled, "Cut from a Different Cloth: You're not Supposed to Fit In." Join host Minister Demetria Lea; in this episode, she explores the unique legacies every Christian carries and examines the significance of the statement 'cut from a different cloth - you're not supposed to fit in' on the path of faith. Minister Lea discusses why, as children of God, we are divinely ordained to live contrary to worldly ideologies, even when it attracts isolation or hostility. This is a deceptive attempt from Satan to steer us away from God's divine purpose.

 

An important aspect of the journey of faith is embracing that, just like Jesus, we are all chosen for a specific purpose and contributing to God's will on Earth. Minister Demetria encourages reflecting upon your experiences and trials, positioning them as parts of God's grand plan of sanctification. The episode also delves into the role of perseverance in strengthening faith. It serves as a reminder that it's beautiful to stand out, be different, and not fit in, as that's what makes us unique warriors of God's kingdom. This is not only vital in personal spiritual growth but also in being a beacon of hope amidst worldly chaos.

 

Drawing from her personal journey and inspirational verses from the Book of John, Minister Lea discusses spiritual growth, likening it to the concept of pruning from plant growth. She encourages listeners to embrace their individualities, serve others and trust God to take care of their needs, stating that they were chosen to stand out for a purpose. Join us on this enlightening journey of understanding our divine purpose and learning to embrace our differences as tokens of our unique spiritual callings. Be reassured that being unique is not a flaw; it's a blessing. Reach out via demetriaLea40@gmail.com, and engage with "The Faith Infusion Podcast" on Facebook and Spotify. Stay blessed!

May: Mental Health Awareness Month

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Faith Infusion Podcast, with your host, Minister Demetria Lea. This episode focuses on the importance of discussing and acknowledging mental health within the religious community. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we engage with the often-taboo subjects of depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges and encourage open dialogue and acceptance within the church.

In this episode, we bust myths about depression being a sin and declare that it's a legitimate illness. We argue against the harmful notion that mental illness is a failure or lack of faith and insist that no one should face judgment or stigma for suffering from any form of illness. We touch upon how the sinful, broken world has led to physical and mental illness and how God, who deeply cares for our well-being, wants us to seek hope, healing, and freedom.

We reveal how our mental health struggles are not random, but rather signals of unfulfilled desires and needs within us. We explore the root causes of these struggles and how they have been influenced by negative emotions, experiences, and relationships. By questioning and understanding the underpinnings of our mental health struggles, we open doors to self-healing and the acceptance of love and safety.

We also delve into the reality of depression--a common but treatable mental health disorder--and assert that those struggling with it are not alone and should not feel ashamed. We impart personal experiences with depression and the path to seeking help and confronting the pain. You are reminded that you are not alone in your struggles and have a community of fellow sufferers, trustworthy friends, professional therapists, and above all, God, who is always watchful and has good things in store for your life.

We strongly emphasize that one's mental health matters greatly to God and should matter to you too. We urge listeners to take control of their lives, seek help when needed, and not let depression take a toll on them. We affirm that our struggles don't define our faith in God, but it's a part of the human struggle for all of us. We encourage you to be kind to yourself and remember that God wants you to be happy and free.

Join us as we journey towards understanding, acceptance, and healing in the journey of faith and mental health.

My Past isn't the Issue: It's my mind

Join Minister Demetria Lea on this eye-opening sixth episode of the Faith Infusion Podcast as we delve into the theme, 'My Past Isn't the Issue, It's My Mind.' In this episode, we confront the reality that acknowledging mistakes isn't about dwelling in the past—it's about recognizing the enemy's attempts to use our past against us.

The episode begins by acknowledging that Satan uses our past mistakes to sway our attention from God's plan. But we're reminded that every attack on the body begins with a thought in our minds. Embrace the truth that nothing Satan offers can compare to God's goodness and sufficiency. Understand that vigilance is crucial as we strive to lead a life that aligns with God's teachings.

In a practical sphere, we address issues we often neglect: money troubles, failing health due to irresponsibility, and poor relationship decisions. We need to be responsible to minimize the devil's opportunities. Learning from mistakes is an important part of God's process. It's about being alert, vigilant, and confident in Christ.

The episode delves deeper into the devil's role as our accuser, using mistakes and sins to bring us down. But we're reminded that our past does not define us. With God's unfathomable mercy, it doesn't matter how far we stray away, he's always ready to help us get back on track.

In the concluding section, Minister Demetria Lea encourages listeners to remain steadfast and resist the devil's lies with all their might. We don't have to become victims of the devil's schemes, and we aren't alone in these spiritual battles. Through unity in faith, we can conquer and emerge victoriously. Listen in for a week's worth of strength and assurance in God's promises against Satan's mind attacks.
