Don’t Forget to Pray That Prayer
Posted by: | CommentsI say it all the time, when you pray all you’re doing is having a conversation to God. Know that you don’t have to be on bended knees or lying prostrate before God just to be in a moment of prayer.
You can be praying as you walk out the door in the morning. You can pray before the big test at school. You can go forth in prayer before that job interview. Even on that morning run you can offer up a word of prayer.
In fact, that’s the good thing about God – He meets you right where you are. He isn’t inconvenient. He’s not selfish with His time. No, He hears every thought you think, when you think them. And He even knows your heart!
You see God delights when you call on His name. The scripture says that He’s a jealous God. All He wants is for you to acknowledge Him. Always remember where your blessings come from.
You don’t have to know every scripture in the bible, or have the so called “prayer lingo” that your local minister or pastor has. No, God understands every word you say. He even knows your thoughts before you even think them.
The scripture says, The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. He hears your earnest prayer and He’ll respond to them.
You may be in traffic on the way to work. But just take a moment and focus your thoughts on Him. Simply thank Him for waking you up. Pray that He surrounds you all day with His loving-kindness and tender mercies. Pray that He grants you favor. Ask Him Read More→
He’s The God of Another Chance
Posted by: | CommentsFor a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. - Proverbs 24:16
No matter how many times you make a mistake or take a wrong turn in life, you should know that you are guaranteed another chance. Now that’s saying a lot because a guarantee means that you’re made certain to receive another chance.
In other words, God doesn’t grant you another chance based on how messed up your past is. In fact the scripture says He’s no respecter of persons. That means that He doesn’t put one person above another.
You should understand that God is not a God of a second chance — He’s not a God of a third, fourth, or even a fifth chance. No my friend, He’s the God of another chance! That means that His grace and mercy is more than sufficient! His love is unconditional!
Don’t be discouraged, no matter how many times you’ve fallen, know that you can get back up and continue on your journey to fulfill your assignment. As long as you strive to live a life pleasing in the sight of God, you are guaranteed another chance!
In some ways, life is like a video game — you won’t go to the next level until you conquer the level you’re on. In order to be promoted to the next level, you have to take this opportunity to get on track. You may not conquer the fight the first time around but unlike the video game, where you’re only granted a certain amount of lives, God has endless opportunities lined up for you!
You see, if He wasn’t the merciful God that He is you wouldn’t be where you are today. You should wake up with a grateful attitude. Your words should be Read More→
God Is Just A Prayer Away
Posted by: | CommentsDo you know that when you pray all you’re doing is having a conversation with God? We can become easily intimidated or overwhelmed if we don’t understand how simple prayer is.
You don’t have to have a fancy prayer language or know every bible verse or have all the lingo that your local spiritual leader may have, all you need to do is go unto God and talk to Him like you would your best friend.
That’s essentially who He is, your best friend. I don’t know anyone other than God who, in-spite of our negligence to be disobedient time after time has the grace and mercy to forgive us.
Therefore, we should know that we can boldly go before God and he will hear our prayers.
When was the last time you had a talk with God?
Naturally with age, we have the tendency to want to prove that we can handle all of our problems. We tend to want to take on every burden that comes our way. But my friend the scripture tells us that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
That means that there is no problem or situation too big that God can’t handle. In fact, He’s looking for us to come to Him.
Make a decision to put aside all fear, put aside all doubt and go to Him confidently. Know that He has the solution for your needs.
As I got older, I realized that my parents didn’t have to assume as much responsibility for the things that they did when I was younger. This was due greatly in part to the fact that I was able to provide for myself. Granted, I’m still able to go to them and ask for things that I needed still but that opportunity was more scarce.
That’s the way God is, He’s doesn’t barge in. He allows us the freedom to Read More→
