Jeremiah 17:18 goes on to say, “They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” When the heat of battle or impossible circumstances arise, even a child of God can easily become tempted to be anxious. However, trusting God doesn’t prevent us from being in uncomfortable situations, but it does allow us to be placed in a position where we seek the Lord’s presence, provisions, guidance and promises. I encourage you trust in the LORD daily, by reading his word, praying without ceasing and seeking his kingdom—God will provide everything you need! (Matthew 6:33) "I will give you rain at the right time! The land will produce its crops and the trees in the field will produce their fruit!” (Leviticus 26:4) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I thank you and praise you for the abundant grace that flows...

“With God Nothing Shall Be Impossible!” ( Luke 1:37) Most would agree that nothing is impossible with God. However, when faced with difficulties, most tend to struggle with believing God. Rationalization is one of the number one reasons why most cannot receive miracles and experience the supernatural power of God, because everything in their life has to make sense. If it doesn’t make sense, it’s back to the drawing board. Children of God, we live by believing and not by seeing! (2 Corinthians 5:7) Commonsense says, “It is impossible to be healed, to be debt free, to be happy, because it goes beyond reasoning, considering all the natural laws, but God says, “all things are possible to the one who believes!" I encourage you, even in the midst of an extremely impossible situation; don’t stop believing, because God keeps his promise! (Numbers 23:19)    “If you can believe, all things are possible to the one who believes!" (Mark 9:23) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Fathe...

In Psalm 37:25 the psalmist David educates God’s children as a teacher of many years and much experience when he tells us, “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” David was simply saying, “Over and over again God has been faithful!” There will be times in life when there is trouble on every hand, doors may shut, resources may dry up, health may fail you, people may fail you, but you must believe that God promises to supply all of your needs! I encourage you to trust God while waiting on him to restore you physically, financially, relationally or emotionally! Whatever the need —God Will Supply! “I’ll never let you down and I’ll never walk off and leave you!” (Hebrews 13:5 MSG) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I thank you for your continual blessing of grace and mercy upon my life. Thank you for being Jehovah Jireh, my provider, Jehovah-Tsid-Kenu, the LORD is my righteousness, Jehovah Rapha, my healer and Jeh...

You Bless Righteous People, O LORD. Like A Large Shield, You Surround Them With Your Favor ! (Psalm 5:12) The dictionary defines favor as “A friendly or favorable regard; approval or support, to make easier or more possible; favoritism, to get advantage; to be gracious, friendly or an obliging act that is freely granted, etc...” Psalm 5:12 is a reminder to us that wherever we go, whatever we’re experiencing in our life—God’s favor is with us! God’s favor can take you places you’ve only dreamed of, doing things you never thought possible. God’s favor can even cause you to be at peace with your enemies and as a result, they may even end up blessing you! I encourage you to begin to expect God’s favor in your life, speak the favor of God over your loved ones, your ministry, your job, your household, your health and everything that concerns you. The more you put in to practice reminding yourself of God’s desire to bless you and help you no matter what, the more God’s favor will show up! ...

Everyone Who Is Born From God Has Won The Victory Over The World ! (1 John 5:4a) The moment you accepted Jesus as your Savior, you were born again and received the gift of God that made you more than a conqueror. We’re not trying to get to victory; we already have victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57) We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations, because in all things we are more than conquerors! (Romans 8:28, Romans 8:37) I encourage you to continue to fix your eyes on Jesus, fight the good fight of faith and walk in the power that gives us the victory in this world! (1 Timothy 6:12, 1 John 5:4) “I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world." (John 16:33 HCSB) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I thank you for the power and victory you’ve given me as your child! My desire is your d...

The LORD Goes Before You! He Will Be With You; He Will Never Leave You Or Fail You ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) In Exodus 13:21 NIV, we read the LORD went ahead of the children of Israel in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way during the day and in a pillar of fire to give them light at night, so that they could travel day or night. As the LORD led the children of Israel, God’s hand is in our lives to guide us; his strength is there to support us and show us we’re never out of his reach! (2 Corinthians 12:9, Isaiah 41:10) I encourage you when all else fails, when you run out of options, continue to trust God to renew your strength and guide you along right paths, bringing honor to his Name. (Psalm 23:3) "The mountains may move, and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" (Isaiah 54:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, you have brought me this far and I thank you for the promise that you will never leave me or disown me. I thank...

As believers, we all encounter trials and difficulties in life, to build character and to strengthen our faith. We can get through those difficult moments by clinging to God, anchoring our hearts to his word and leaving room for him to bring everything together according to his plan and timing. (Romans 8:28) We may not always understand the purpose of our trials, but God simply asks that we trust Him—even when it’s not easy. I encourage you, when it seems the doors of possibilities are closed, when it seems all resources are exhausted or when it seems there is no longer hope—believe God Is Able! “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—because I am God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior! (Isaiah 43:2) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, during times of difficulty, may my eyes remain focused on your kingdom, my heart centered on you and my mind...
