Chaplain’s Corner
JANUARY 2020

Submitted by Soror Stephanie Seawright Boswell

Hello My Sweet Sorors!

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2020 – A Clear Vision for You!!
The first part of any year, people are coming out of the daze of the holiday season
feeling focused, determined and ready to accomplish their goals and resolutions.
But if we’re not careful, before long, we’ll find ourselves slipping back into our old routines and habits.
Why don’t you decide that this year is going to be different! Let this year be the year for you to break free
from those things that have held you back once and for all. God desires for you to be free from every
weight and bondage of the past. However, before you can change your behavior, you have to change
what you’re thinking and saying. Your thoughts and words clear the path for your actions.

Scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. It also tells us to speak to our moun-
tains, or the obstacles, that try to hold us. It won’t just happen automatically or overnight, but anybody
can change their words by purposing in their heart to do so. You might even set a reminder on your
calendar or an alarm on your phone so you can take a minute or two each day to “talk to your mountain”
and declare victory over your life. Then make sure that all throughout the day, you keep your words in
line with God’s Word and what you are believing for. Don’t start talking about your problem; don’t start
feeding defeat. Instead, start the New Year strong. Talk to your mountain and watch it move out of your
way! Set your words for victory and set your year for victory.

“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and
does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he
says.” (Mark 11:23, NKJV)

Let us pray: Dear God, I ask you to bless my Sister reading this article. In this New Year, may she find the
peace, joy, and love that she desires and needs. Reveal to her the vision and plans you have for her. Teach
her to trust you in every area of her life. May she know that her past has equipped her for her future. Let
this New Year be one of her best years yet. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen

NOTE: The Chaplain’s Council is here for you. We are praying for you and with you. We invite you to join
us on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:00 – 6:15A.M., for the “What happens when Sisters pray”
prayer call. It is a time of devotion, prayer, and refreshing for a new day. Connect with us as we bom-
bard Heaven on behalf of others, our community, our chapter, our Sorority, each other and ourselves.
Remember, God hears us when we pray.
