Stepping Out with Purpose

12/15/2025

In this Monday motivational Psalm 20:7 devotional, Dr. Valarie Harris shares an encouraging message called “When What You Trust Gets Tested.” If you’ve been leaning on money, people, plans, or your own strength more than God, this “Faith Tested: Trust God” devotional will help you reset where your confidence really lives.

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” – Psalm 20:7

In David’s day, chariots and horses were symbols of power, human advantage, and visible security.
Today, our “chariots and horses” can look like:

-A paycheck or bank balance

-A title, degree, or position

-Connections and “who you know”

-Control, overthinking, and constant hustle

-Approval, likes, and validation

Those things can be tools—but they were never meant to be your trust.

� Heart Check – Where Do You Run First?

In this Psalm 20:7 devotional, you’ll be challenged to ask:

Where do I run first when pressure hits?

To worry? To overthinking? To people? To hustle?

You’ll be reminded that:

-If you run to worry, worry becomes your chariot.

-If you run to overthinking, control becomes your horse.

-If you run to people before prayer, people become your safety net.

David didn’t say chariots were useless—he said that’s not where our trust lives.

When Scripture says “the Name of the Lord,” it’s talking about God’s reputation, character, authority, and track record of faithfulness. When you say, “I trust the Name of the Lord,” you’re declaring:

-God is steady when life is shaky.

-God is faithful when people are fickle.

-God provides when resources run low.

-God defends when you feel attacked.

-God guides when you don’t know what to do next.

Your trust is not in what you can see—
your trust is in the One who sees what you can’t.

A Simple Monday Reset

Before you jump into your day:

Put your hand on your heart and say:
“Lord, I release my need to control.”

Open your hands and say:
“I release my fear, my pressure, and my timeline to You.”

Breathe and declare:
“I will trust You, Lord, step by step.”

Dr. Val also prays over you—asking God to calm your anxious mind, lift heaviness off your chest, and mark this week with favor, protection, and divine direction.

� Monday Call to Action

Write this down and keep it where you can see it today:

“My trust is in God—not in what I can control.”

In this Psalm 150 devotional for women of faith, Dr. Valarie Harris shares an encouraging message called “Praise Is Your Power” to help you remember that praise is not just a reaction—praise is a weapon. When life feels too heavy, too loud, or too overwhelming, this short devotional will remind you that praise is the language of victory.

Psalm 150:1–2 calls us to:
“Praise the Lord.
Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens.
Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness.”

In this message, you’ll be reminded that:
Praise shifts the atmosphere when life won’t slow down
Praise lifts the weight of burdens, stress, and anxiety
Praise reminds your soul who God is—faithful, holy, mighty, sovereign, and worthy
Praise is a bridge between where you are and where God is taking you
Praise is your power, your weapon, your refuge, and your gateway into God’s presence

You’ll be encouraged to praise God:
In your sanctuary—your home, your car, your quiet space

Above the noise of life, joining the never-ending sound of heaven
Not just for what He has done (rescuing, healing, restoring, forgiving)
But for who He is: Faithful, Holy, Mighty, Matchless, Sovereign, and Worthy

Prayer of Adoration and Strength
Dr. Val also prays over you—asking God to let a fresh sound of praise rise in your spirit, to exchange heaviness for joy, anxiety for peace, and weakness for strength as you magnify His name.

In this Psalm 46:10 devotional for women of faith, Dr. Valarie Harris shares an encouraging message on how to be still and find peace when life won’t slow down. If your mind has been racing, your heart overwhelmed, and your schedule non-stop, this short devotional will help you pause your panic and lean into God’s presence.

Psalm 46:10 whispers a powerful command:
“Be still, and know that I am God.”

Not “be still because everything is fixed,” but be still because He is God—and that alone is enough.
� In this message, you’ll be reminded that:
– Stillness is not doing nothing; stillness is placing everything in God’s hands.
– You can pause the inner storm even when the outer storm hasn’t changed.
– God is your refuge, your peace, and the One fighting battles you don’t even see.
– Strength, clarity, and breakthrough are often found in surrender, not striving.

You’ll be encouraged to:
– Quiet the noise of deadlines, expectations, and emotions
– Anchor your heart in God’s sovereignty
– Hear Him whisper, “Daughter, stop carrying what I already promised to handle.”

� Prayer Included:
Dr. Val closes with a powerful prayer for those who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or weary—asking God to calm the storm on the inside, bring stillness, and remind you that He is in control.

🌊 Life can feel overwhelming—sometimes we’re holding it together on the outside, while inside we’re carrying more than anyone knows. In this week’s carousel, we’re diving into 3 Ways to Stay Unshaken.

✨ Here’s how you can anchor yourself through the storms:

1. Pause, Don’t Panic
Before reacting to every crisis, hit the pause button. As shared, wisdom is found in protecting your peace—let yourself reset and invite calm in, before making your next move.

2. Pray Through It, Not Around It
Some storms aren’t meant to break you, they’re meant to strengthen you. When we pray through what we’re facing—bringing our real feelings to God—we experience transformation and peace, sometimes even while the storm is still raging.

3. Partner with Purpose
You’re not meant to do life alone. Surround yourself with like-minded women who uplift and encourage you. Your community gives you strength, so don’t isolate—lean in and let others help carry the load.

👇 Ask yourself:
Where am I losing peace by trying to control what only God can calm?

📝 If this resonates, write it in your journal, let go, and remember: Surrender is where supernatural strength begins.

You are unshaken, unstoppable, and chosen for such a time as this. Ready to level up? This Black Friday, unlock your Purpose-Driven Life eBook with a special offer—12 Steps to Stepping into Your Purpose-Driven Life. Grab Your Copy Today!

It’s time to put your dreams into action and become the unshaken, unstoppable woman you’re meant to be. Are you ready to break free from overwhelm and step boldly into your calling?
