The psalmist David declared in Psalm 40:1 GWT, “I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me and heard my cry for help.” The word patiently means David waited without complaining, he suffered long and he did not get weary. (Galatians 6:9 NLT) Being patient is key to trusting God. If you’re walking by faith, waiting and resting in the promises of God, God will turn to you, hear your cry and deliver you! (Psalm 34:4, 2 Chronicles 20:17) I encourage you to stop focusing on how long you have been waiting for a sequence of events to occur, but instead place your trust and confidence in the One who manages the clock of your life. As you wait upon Him, rest assured—everything God has promised will come in His perfect timing and His purpose will bring good out of this! (Isaiah 40:31, Romans 8:28) “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for! (Jeremiah 29:11) “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will h...

(Exodus 14:13 GWT) Spiritual growth consists of: increasing knowledge and understanding of God's Word, increasing faith and trust in God, increasing practice of Christ-like qualities, while decreasing sinful nature. To those that will remain in the race and overcome, stay steadfast and engaged in battle, you will be elevated in grace to the Glory of God! (James 4:6, Romans 15:7) I encourage you to determine that you’re going to press through every setback, as God turns it to a setup to elevate you! (Philippians 3:13, Genesis 50:20) “I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear; I will help you!” (Isaiah 41:13) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Lord, I surrender all to You this day.

Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised. (Hebrews 10:35 NLT) When you feel tempted to give in and quit, I encourage you to stop a moment, take notice of where the thoughts are coming from, and remind yourself of what the LORD has begun in you will be completed. (Philippians 1:6) NEVER quit and lose heart on that which God has placed inside of you. Our Victory Is Already Won! (1 John 5:42, 2 Corinthians 2:14)   “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to Me.

Don't Worry About Anything; Instead, Pray About Everything!

Our Lord Is Great & His Power Is Great! There Is No Limit To His Understanding! (Psalm 147:5 GWT) You may be going through hard or difficult things today, but refuse to lower your expectations in prayer. (Mark 11:24) Never settle for less than Almighty God desires for you to enjoy. (Jeremiah 29:11) I encourage you to live with an expectancy of supernatural answers to your prayers of faith, regardless of life’s storms that are raging against you.

"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 GWT) There is no testimony of God’s greatness to you void of a test. Yes, God has given you great dreams and promises, but there will also be a season of great challenges. The Good News is, every test God allows you to face is for a purpose and is a part of His process. (Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11) In order for you to be the vessel of honor, you must overcome the tests and trials that God allows to come. (1 John 4:4, 1 John 5:5) I encourage you to be thankful and give thanks to God, for this is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus—the Revealer and Mediator of that will! (1 Thessalonians 5:18 AMP) “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,...
