I haven’t dropped you. Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.

Keep Looking Up & Don’t Give Up! (Heb 12:2, 11, Gal 6:9) It’s easy to allow emotions to take control of your life, when life is hard, when wearied and it feels like you’re in a valley.

(Is 40:29-31) He’s always there to help us in the time of trouble! (Ps 46:1) "Pray all the time and never give up!" "I will never fail you.

Do not fear, but be glad and rejoice, because God will do great things! He has given you the former rain moderately, and now He will give you the former and the latter rains!

Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe!” (Mal 3:11) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, in every way I was troubled, but my troubles didn’t crush me.

Forget What’s Behind—Press Forward Toward The Mark Of The High Calling! In Phil 3:13, Apostle Paul uses the illustration of a runner who focuses on the goal ahead, which prevents distractions and stumbling.  Whenever attentions or emotions are absorbed by the past, it hinders forward momentum and progress. #Remain humble, disciplined, diligent, and determined! #Seek the Word of God, become stronger and wiser in the Lord! #You will experience prosperity! #You will succeed, against all odds! (Jos 1:8, Dan 11:32)   “Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands!” (Is 43:18-19) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, may the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart, be pleasing in Your Sight, my LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer! (Ps 19:14) I humbly pray, in Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen! Have a gre...

In Mk 9:35, we find instructions on how to rise to the top—Remain Humble! How does one remain humble? Serve. Humility is a necessary quality for Christians, if we desire the blessings and entry into the Kingdom of God. (Phil  4:19, Mt 5:3, 2 Chr 7:14) In Mt 20:28, just as Jesus didn’t come to be served, but to serve, we too must commit ourselves to serving others. If promotion or elevation is desired; Remain Humble—God Will Exalt You At The Proper Time! (1 Pt 5:5-6) “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be honored!” (Mt 23:12) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, I choose today to serve You and others.
