August 09, 2023!

God is saying to you today,
“Take time to rest in My presence.
Amidst the busyness of life, find
moments of stillness and peace. In
the quietness, you will hear My
gentle whispers, providing you
with guidance and wisdom. Let My
Word be a source of nourishment
and renewal for your soul.”

God is saying to you today,
“Extend compassion and grace
to others, just as I have shown
you boundless love and mercy.
As you reflect My character in
your interactions with others, you
will be a beacon of hope and
healing in a world that often
longs for My touch.”

We all have private battles.
We have personal challenges that no one knows about. Except ourselves and the lord.
And you see every now and then? Something comes along in our lives and it reminds us.
That we really have no control in this life.
I’ve seen someone who was in the prime of their life vibrant, full of ideas, and then one morning they woke up with a headache that didn’t go away.
And within the space of twenty four hours, they were in the hospital, fighting for their life.
I’ve seen a husband and wife work so hard, incredibly hard, all to provide a better life for their family.
But in the process of doing so, they were hardly ever home, and their children became rebellious as they were exposed to all manner of things.
Without the love and guidance of their parents.
Now, these are just a few examples, but I’m sure you understand what I mean when I say that every now and again, something happens in life that reminds you just how fragile you are.
It reminds you how we as humans lack control.
And so I want this to be a kind reminder.
I want it to be a warning spoken in love.
My dear friend, do not think that you wake up every day because of your own strength.
Don’t think that the reason you have good health is because of your diet and exercise program.
No. It’s because of the mercy of god.
We ought to be filled with gratitude each and every day because of god’s unfailing love for us.
So, don’t ever think of yourself too highly.
Don’t ever think that you are so strong that you cannot fall.
In fact, first Corinthians ten verse twelve says, Therefore, let the one who thinks he stands firm, immune to temptation, being overconfident and self righteous.
Take care that he does not fall into sin and condemnation.
And so with this verse in mind, we need to have some humility in our lives.
If things are well with you, then praise be to God.
But don’t look down at others who are struggling. No one is immune to the troubles of life.
The most prayerful Christian you know has their own personal battles.
The nicest person you’ve ever met will also have their own hidden battles. They have their own challenges.
Hebrews four verse sixteen says, So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.
There, we will receive his mercy.
And we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
As you face your own challenges and private battles.
I want you to know that it’s okay to ask god for help.
It’s okay to ask god to intervene.
I believe that god wants us to be in a place where we are completely relying on him.
Completely leaning on him.
So as we go to god in prayer, let us look at ourselves closely.
And remember that although others may not know our struggles.
God knows all about them, but it’s up to us. To submit to god.
It’s up to us to admit to god that we have struggles and that we need his help.
Every single day of our lives.
And so with this in mind, go with me to the throne of God. Father.
Your word says in Matthew eleven verse twenty eight. Come to me.
All you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
And so we seek your face lord Jesus.
We come to you, father, We come and we bow down before your throne, asking for your help.
We’re asking for a supernatural breakthrough. Move in Holy Spirit. Be our comfort at this time.
Your father, we thank you for your goodness and your mercy.
Lord, we thank you for the battles that you fight for us.
Those which are seen and those which are unseen. Father, we ask for divine protection.
You know our struggles, Lord. You know what we are facing as individuals.
And at this time, We’re calling for your help, lord Jesus.
Lord, we need you to intervene. Help us master.
I pray right now for everyone who is listening.
For those who are mourning and in sorrow, may you give them peace and comfort?
For those who are tired and weary, may you give power and strength?
For those who are weak. May you fight our battles, lord?
As I pray for the person who’s listening, Lord, I ask that whatever it is that they are wrestling with, be it in their spirit, in their minds, in their bodies.
Whatever area of their life that’s coming up against opposition.
We call on the name that is above every name.
We call on UK, Jesus Christ, to set us free.
Because whom the sun sets free is free indeed. Set us free in our minds.
Set us free in our bodies. Lord set us free from the clutches of the enemy.
Set us free from unrest in our hearts. Break the strongholds that your people face.
Break the chains that are pulling your children down. No more fear. No more anxiety.
No more unrest in our hearts. You have the final say lord Jesus.
And your word says, that you have come to give us life and life more abundantly.
And lord, we ask that you may forgive us.
If we’ve taken your grace and your goodness for granted.
Your word has given us the promise that no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
And I declare that no weapon formed against our families will prosper.
I declare that no weapon formed against our children or our homes will prosper.
And lord, even while the enemy roams back and forth looking for whom he may devour.
We stand by the power. That’s in the blood of Jesus Christ.
We stand by the power that’s in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father, we give you the throne to our hearts, and we bless your holy name.
You stand above all. Above any principalities, above any ruler of wickedness, there is none, and there is nothing that can stand against you.
And so, lord Jesus, we call upon your name. We believe that you will give us a breakthrough.
Even though our eyes may not be able to see it now, We believe by faith that you are working on our behalf, and you are working for our good.
Door Jesus, I pray for wisdom and discernment in this season.
And I pray that you would continue to fight our battles.
Lord, keep us from falling for the tricks of the enemy. Be a lamp into my feet.
So that I may be saved from the path that is filled with evil.
Lord, I glorify your precious Be glorified and honored now and forever.
I thank you for hearing this prayer. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen.
