When all seems lost in your life, remember Psalm 63. Know that the most important thing you have—faith in God—is there for you to cling to. . .
It takes commitment to make sitting silently before the Lord a priority. But when you do so, you cannot be shaken. . .
No matter how weary you may be, if you don’t give up, you will find success in whatever God tells you to put your hand to. Just do your duty and leave the results to Him. . .
When you are close to God, you are in tune with the Holy Spirit. You can feel His nudges and promptings. And you can hear His leadings. . .
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. . .
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?
There is tremendous power in expectant prayer. Pray as if God has already answered yours—even if you are still waiting for His answer. . .
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. . .
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. . .
