Good morning friends, prayer partners and minstry partners. Let's begin today by giving God thanksgiving. Let's shout Hallelujah for it is the highest praise.
I just want to encourage you today to
continue praying and don't give up. May God find us to be faithful at all times
Hear the words of Jesus
Luke 18
1 Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart, 2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and had no respect for man. 3 There was a [desperate] widow in that city and she kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice and legal protection from my adversary.’ 4 For a time he would not; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will give her justice and legal protection; otherwise [a]by continually coming she [will be an intolerable annoyance and she] will wear me out.’” 6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says! 7 And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf? 8 I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?”
What can we do in these perilous times that we live in?
Continue in Faith, trusting God.
When we are in faith we will continue in prayer, because it is our very "lifeline" to stay connected to God.
Prayer is such a wonderful gift from God, we can pray at anytime, anywhere and in any given situation. We don't have to be heard by anyone else, just a whisper and we know that God will not only hear but he will answer too.
What a privilege it is to carry everything to God in prayer?
Let me share the words of that song here:
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Yes my friends don't give up
I pray God will give you the grace and strength you need for not only this day but always. I pray he will give you insight, foresight and strategy. I pray for you to hear his voice with clarity and that when you do you will move into doing all he says speedily
Amen
I ve shared a lovely song to bless you below
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
