Trusting the Lord with a problem means giving it to Him, praising Him for His answer, and stepping away from it. It sounds easy, yet many of us get in God's way by still trying to resolve it ourselves, intimidated by timelines, social, and financial pressures. But praise God, He is not limited to anything; … Continue reading Working Together for Good!
Romans 8:28
Working Together for Good!
Christians know God as our Heavenly Father, who loves and cares for us. When we pray for something, we must see ourselves as His children, asking in faith and trusting Him with the answer. We don't have His infinite knowledge or wisdom nor the understanding of the enemy that strives to destroy us, and sometimes, … Continue reading Working Together for Good!
Who’s the Boss?
Sometimes, the answers to our prayers don't make sense. We told God our issue and explained what we needed and how to do it, but what we got was very different. We must remember that Almighty God is our Lord—the boss whom WE serve; we have NO authority to tell HIM what or how to … Continue reading Who’s the Boss?
More Than Me!
Sometimes, we only see how our problems affect us personally. Yet, often, others are involved in their cause and outcome that we don't know about. But God knows! He hears and answers our prayers, but He sees the whole picture, and He answers us in His way and timing BECAUSE He sees the whole picture. … Continue reading More Than Me!
Working Things Out!
Many of us come to God in prayer with wrong attitudes and expectations. Prayer isn't us telling God what to do and how to do it so we get the results WE want. Prayer is submitting to God, giving Him our problems, and trusting HIM to work all things out in His way and timing. … Continue reading Working Things Out!
Wait Patiently!
Impatience can be dangerous. When we pray about a need but lack the patience to wait on God, we show our lack of faith in Him. God loves us and has a plan for our lives, and like an earthly father, He directs and disciplines us. We must learn to be patient, trust God, and … Continue reading Wait Patiently!
When Things Go Wrong
Sometimes, when things go wrong, we pray about them and do all we can, yet, nothing changes. When this happens, we must stop complaining and ask God what He's trying to show us. He often allows these trials to teach us something, make us realize what we're doing or not doing according to His will, … Continue reading When Things Go Wrong
His Plan Works
Life doesn't always happen as we plan it. Sometimes, God allows circumstances that force us to see the evil in this world and the hope in His salvation. When we become Christians, our values, priorities, and path of life change to fulfill His purpose in our lives. Sometimes, our answers to prayers won't be what … Continue reading His Plan Works
Patience is a Virtue
We live in a world of instant access, high ego, and little patience. Many Christians believe that God should also answer prayers immediately—and their way. But when we answered God's call to salvation, we surrendered to Jesus, our Lord, and must study the Scriptures to know Him, obey His Word, and fulfill that calling. God … Continue reading Patience is a Virtue
Don’t Be Discouraged
Many Christians are discouraged because their prayers aren't answered. But God assures us in 1 Peter 3:12 that He DOES hear and answer the prayers of the righteous, those who know Jesus. His word is true and has never failed, and if God said He'll do something, He WILL do it. We are His children … Continue reading Don’t Be Discouraged
Happy Birthday to Me!
God has blessed me with another birthday! I give Him all the praise and the glory for allowing me to be here today. Eleven years ago, the doctors gave me five months to live, but God is in control of my life. He has allowed me these years to tell others about Jesus and given … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me!
Things Will Work Out
The Bible says the meek will inherit the earth, and it's because they are committed to Jesus and submit to His Lordship. They don't pray about a situation and then try to work it out their way. But some of us are guilty of doing that. We forget that He is God and is directing … Continue reading Things Will Work Out
Working Together for Good
One thing about life is that sometimes it presents unexpected surprises, some good and some not so good. But as God's children, we take everything to Him in prayer and rest in Him because, as the Scriptures tell us, our ways are not always God's ways. And when we trust God to take care of … Continue reading Working Together for Good
Working Together for Good
When we pray, we must remember that God sees the big picture, not just what we see in our circumstances. We are His children and His wisdom far exceeds ours, so if our answer is different from what we expected, let's praise God because perhaps, the one we sought was not the right one. Jesus … Continue reading Working Together for Good
Keep Your Eyes on God!
This is the day that God has made! No matter what happens today, we have to remember that God is still in control and that He's working out His plan to bring His children into eternal peace and this sinful world into judgment. People across the globe are focusing their attention on what's going on … Continue reading Keep Your Eyes on God!
Don’t Lose Hope
Many of us are still sitting in the dilemma of recent events, asking why and how this could happen when we prayed so hard for a different outcome. But let's not forget that God is still in control regardless of what we see and that His ways are not our ways. We need to trust … Continue reading Don’t Lose Hope
Trusting God
Jesus told us that we would have tribulations in this world, but He also said not to be overwhelmed with them but instead, to put our faith in Him because He has overcome this world. When we give our troubles to Jesus and trust Him to work them out, He gives us His peace along … Continue reading Trusting God
Smile, God Loves You!
