God Is Faithful! (1 Corinthians 1:9) Because of the LORD's faithfulness we’re not consumed! (Lamentations 3:22) A mature faith recognizes God is not the author of suffering and evil in this world, He’s not the one who inflicts illness, who orchestrates violence, injustice, depression, tragedy, etc… However, when these things happen, in the midst of difficulty and uncertainty, we must never forget—God’s hand is there to guide us; His strength is there to support us and show us we’re never out of His reach! Jesus encourages us in John 16:33, “In this world you will have many trials and sorrows, but remain encouraged—I have overcome the world!" God’s Word To You: "The mountains may move, and the hills may shake, but My kindness will never depart from you. My promise of peace will never change!" (Isaiah 54:10) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. May my eyes remain focused on your ki...

Be Very Happy When You Are Tested In Different Ways , knowing that the testing of your faith develops perseverance! Let perseverance finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing! (James 1:2-4) Perseverance means= no matter what's going on, be persistent, keep at it, keep trying, stick with it and never give up! I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold that God will have on display as evidence of His Victory! (1 Peter 1:6-7 MSG) God’s Word To You : Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, thank you for your strength and power that is made perfect in me when I am weak. As I continue to remain patient, I am certain you’re faithful to every promise an...

God Planned Good To Come Out Of This! (Genesis 50:20) Everyone faces life’s challenges, however, despite the bad, God promises to work all things out for our good according to His plan! (Romans 8:28) Continue to be encouraged, stand in faith, believe God loves you and believe something good is going to happen for you! God’s Word To You : “I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank you for your loving plan how you put on flesh in Jesus Christ and changed the course of human history.

A.S.K [Ask, Seek, Knock] ASK and it will be given to you; SEEK and you will find; KNOCK and the door will be opened to you! (Matthew 7:7) Everyone who asks, receives! Everyone who seeks, finds! And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened! (Matthew 7:8) God is able to do above and beyond all that we ASK or think according to the power that works in us!

God’s Understanding Is Inexhaustible, Boundless & God Is Most Powerful! (Psalm 147:5) Not only is God all the characteristics described in Psalm 147:5, God’s power is at work in us & by this power He can do infinitely more than we can ask, think or imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) As children of God, we win the victory over Satan and all of his works, because the one who is in us is greater than anything or anyone who is in the world! (1 John 4:4) God’s Word To You : "Nothing is too hard for me!” "If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you!” (Jeremiah 32:27b GWT, John 15:7) Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I thank You for being an ever-present God, almighty, everlasting God and a forever faithful God.

The Lord God Is Our Strength, Our Personal Bravery & Our Invincible Army! (Habakkuk 3:19) Many times, as frustrations begin to build, problems seem permanent and sorrows grow, flesh often looks for a way out when under the pressure. The truth is, faith remains unshaken by the trials of life and some of the greatest lessons we’ll ever learn comes from time spent with God in the fires of affliction. The good news is, although the righteous has many afflictions, the LORD delivers us out of every one of them! (Psalms 34:19) You’re not alone, Jesus lives in you and you have the victory .
