Don’t Be Troubled
Don’t fear. God has heard your prayer. Don’t be troubled. God is looking upon you with favor and has great things in store for you. Don’t be afraid. Jesus is the source of your greatest joy. . .
Your Own Way
Has God ever told you to do a specific thing and, instead of following His directions exactly, you did it your own way—and perhaps even justified your doing so?
Expectant Prayer
There is tremendous power in expectant prayer. Pray as if God has already answered yours—even if you are still waiting for His answer. . .
Determined Belief
Faith thing isn’t a once-and-done deal, nor is it something to be thrown away at the first sign of trouble or forgotten when all is well. It’s a persistent, dogged, determined belief in God. . .
He Can Do Anything
Jesus has one request when you ask for help with your own issues: Take the if out of the equation when it comes to believing in His power. Have faith that He can do anything in your life, that for Him nothing is impossible. . .
Escape the Chaos
At times, you may hear about war or see devastation wrought by earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, famine, tornadoes, and tsunamis. There is only one place you can go to escape the chaos. . .
Be Open
As you spend time in the restful yet rejuvenating presence of Jesus, be open! Allow His presence to sweep into your eyes, ears—and heart. Doing so will fill you with joy. . .
He’s Not Overlooking You
Remember who Jesus is and the amazing things He has done for you. He’s not overlooking you. Take courage that you will recognize His voice and His presence when He is near. . .
Commitment
Commitment is hard to come by these days. With a fast-paced, give-it-to-me-now culture, it’s hard to slow down and settle. Instead, the temptation is to jump from one thing to the next. . .
Compassionate Prayers
Maybe you have tried to share your faith with a family member and felt rejected. Try to counter any rejections you receive with compassionate prayers for those you love. . .
