The broad road is easy to find and easy to navigate. Do nothing and we’re there. It also easily accommodates us and all our baggage. Bring anything and everything with us…we won’t be crowded out! The narrow road however, does require navigation. We must ask for and accept the will of God and we must seek to follow …
A good way to determine how steadfast your faith in Christ is, and how completely you have given your life over to the leading of God’s Holy Spirit, is to consider the joyous message we are given in Galatians 5:22 – 25: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith …
As the body of Christ, we are called to live in community with one another. The idea of people watching us or knowing about the sin in our lives can often make us feel uncomfortable. Being known by others and being held accountable is necessary however, not only to meet our basic relationship needs, but also to …
As our Protector and Guide, You are the greatest Friend and Joy we have! To be able to come to You in prayer like this is the most beautiful part of our lives! Father, You know what I am facing and the reasons why these doors and opportunities have opened before me. Father please be with me in all things at all times. Protect …
Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to You in this time of affliction. As we place our sick under Your care, we humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again. May the love of our Savior, His grace, His healing power and the collective prayers of believers also embrace them with strength, courage and …
Please protect us with the shield of your strength and keep us safe from all fear, evil and harm. In 2 Timothy 1:7, we are told, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” May the power of the Holy Spirit impart this truth and guide us so that we may forever praise You for …
When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing ‘dance’ at the end of the word. I remembered reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes …
Lord, please help us to discern the lies of the enemy so that we do not give any credence to thoughts that are not in alignment with Your truth. Help us to examine our thoughts in light of Your Word at all times. In Psalm 26:2, we are instructed to ask “Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and my heart.” Father please …
He suggested I view my life as a puzzle, scattered all over the floor. Each piece representing an aspect of my life. He then asked, “If you are fully prepared to give your life to Christ and truly sincere in your convictions, are you equally as prepared to grab only a handful and ask that only those be fixed?”
When we think our prayers aren’t answered and our dreams are not fulfilled, we tend to get anxious and fearful and may allow ourselves to begin to doubt God’s promises. Please don’t doubt. Real faith is not getting everything we pray for but instead receiving what is in God’s will.
Throughout my walk with Christ, there’s been a direct correlation between when I feel a sense of accomplishment, contentedness and peace and when I’m feeling anxious, heavy-hearted and at times bitter. When I’m consistently in the Word and tuned in to my relationship with the Holy Spirit, my life is flooded with optimism, harmony and balance.
