The LORD will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Isaiah 58: 11
God now has a perfect divine plan for your life and He will guide you every step of the way into the fulfillment of that divine plan!
There is not an area or detail in your life that God will not help you out with – no matter how small or trivial you think it may be. The Holy Spirit is called “the Helper” in the Bible. He will guide you and lead you. When you are confused, when you are lost and overwhelmed, His hand will strengthen you and guide you every step of the way.

SPOP Catra inspiration
Another part of my series. Catra, as others takes inspiration from multiple sources. Catra's costume/design in the first 3 seasons (and also her season 4 and 5 looks), seem to be inspired quite a lot by one of Filmation's designs for her, one younger and more girlish looking compared to the final one:
Early Filmation concept art of Catra
Catra in seasons 1-3 of SPOP
Model sheet of Catra is seasons 4 and early 5
Catra in season 5
This design has a very visible influence on Catra's overall costumes in SPOP, as well as her wild mane of hair, and a rather younger looking design.
To be clear, Catra's also takes inspiration from her Filmation design, with her colors, mask design, these being especially visible in her season 4 (and early season 5) look:
It's also quite obvious this early concept of Catra, also has a lion mask, as Catra was to originally transform into a lioness or (maned) were-lioness, as conceived by her (and Princess of Power) original designer, Justine Dantzer
The original concept by Justine Dantzer, also seems to have influenced SPOP Catra's design
Catra's design went through a number of iterations.
Another one was of a literal cat-girl (or it seems, tiger-girl):
Indeed, Catra still turned into a tiger in the UK She-Ra comics:
These concept arts seem to have influenced Catra in SPOP having leonine and tiger-like traits, and well being a literal cat-girl.
Another one was closer to her final design (but still having visible elements from the first Filmation concept and and that by Justine Dantzer):
Other Filmation concept art of Catra, including her transforming into a maned lioness/were-lioness, and another wearing her lion mask and having a tail:
The mini-comic and toy designs of Catra (which had a tail) seem to be another influence - specifically Scratchin' Sound Catra:
Another is Showe Power Catra, especially how she was portrayed in the Princess of Power minicomics:
Outside of Masters of the Universe inspirations, the Puma Sisters/Twins, Anna and Uni, especially as portrayed in the original Dominion manga by Masamune Shirow (adapted latter into the Dominion Tank Police OVAs), seem to be an influence, up to Catra having heterochromia like them:
(Anna and Uni are gynoids though)
(Catra's heterochromia probably also signifies her being torn at multiple points in the series, especially season 1, but also her potential for good and evil).
Another possible inspiration, are Thunderians, especially as portrayed in the 2011 ThunderCats reboot:
A particular inspiration, especially for Catra's season 4 and 5 outfits, might be concept art for 2011 Cheetara's outfit, as noted by @two-sides-of-the-same-smexy-coin . Specifically the first two from the left:
This is also not the only connection/possible reference SPOP has to ThunderCats, specifically the 2011 cartoon.
