*[![](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2011/08/Bible-300x199.jpg "holy bible")](https://dd.malinoix.com/content/images/wordpress/2011/08/Bible.jpg)“Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood. For your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the earth” (Isaiah 54:4-5, NLT).*

Every once in a while I come across a passage of Scripture that makes my hair stand up. Gives me the chills.

*Sometimes I start weeping.* 

*Sometimes I giggle until I am laughing uncontrollably.* 

*Either way.*

**I just found my *own* promise, and I can’t wait to show you how to find *your* own promise!**

I love how Scripture is used for the benefit of all things (2 Timothy 3:16), and it is the only offensive against the enemy of this world (Ephesians 6:17).

Recently, I shot this is the video for my upcoming book, “[Not Another Dating Book](http://vimeo.com/27782019?ref=dd.malinoix.com).”

I returned to an old office building I used to work at during the most difficult years of my singleness. I remembered past mistakes. But then I remembered my promise, Psalm 37:1\. “Don’t worry about the wicked, or envy those who do wrong.”

*That meant no more worrying about Elevator boy or Miguel.*

If you’re wondering who those guys are, watch this video I gave at [Brick House](http://vimeo.com/14329781?ref=dd.malinoix.com), the young adult ministry of The Potter’s House in Dallas, TX.

The important thing to remember is…I *kept* reading the Bible until I found my verse. The verse that promised to help me overcome.

**I wonder what it is for you.**

> *Are you single? Are you in a relationship? Do you need a job? Do you hate your job? Do you have health issues? Is your marriage in shambles? Do you have a healthy marriage? Are you wondering how you’re going to raise your child–single or…?*

*So many BIG questions and an even BIGGER book.* 

My challenge to you this week? ***Find your own promise.*** 

*What makes you sing? (Did you know that God sings over you and comforts you with His love?)*

*What makes you cry? (Did you know that God records all your tears in a bottle?)*

*What makes you feel strong? (Did you know the joy of the Lord is your strength?)*

**Find your own promise today by reading the Bible and putting it into practice.**
