Praise Him!

Of all God’s creations, humans seem to have the hardest time consistently praising God. We grow tired and forget that God is in control. With impatient hearts and complaining spirits, we trudge on in our own efforts. Instead of singing praises to God for the joy He has given, we forget our blessings and simply focus on getting through the day. Satan is the victor in this situation when we allow him to rob us of our song. Let’s put a new song on our lips today and rejoice in the goodness of His love.

Don't Give Up!

Do you ever wake up and feel like you have nothing left to give as a Christian? The struggle to find the strength for the battle is nothing new. We can quit, but if countless other Christians have remained steadfast through their difficult times, we can too. If you are experiencing burnout and finding yourself shutting down, God is waiting for you! Your heavenly Father has the strength you need to face today, tomorrow and even eternity. Stop thinking about what you can’t do. Start depending on God and find out what you can do through Him today!

Forgiven!

Does Satan ever remind you of your shameful past to make you feel unworthy? You don’t need to listen to his nonsense anymore! No sin is bigger than the depths of God’s love and grace. If you have confessed your sin before God in repentance and received His forgiveness, your sins are removed as far as the east is from the west. He remembers them no more. The next time Satan comes to remind you of your past, just remind him of his future and Christ’s blood that was given for you!

Need A Hand?

Having someone by your side to help you through life’s problems is a blessing from God. Do you feel alone in facing your battles today? His love and strength are as close as the next prayer. When you need an “extra” hand to get through a particularly tough day, He knows and cares. God loves you so much that He will send the exact person you need to help hold you up. If you are in a heavy situation right now, pray and watch as God proves Himself mighty in sending the encouragement you need.

Prayer!

Did you pray today? Although we say prayer is important, how much time do you actually spend praying one, five or ten minutes? Are your prayers more than “bless them” and “keep them from harm” prayers? Prayer is the most important thing we can do every day. Earnest prayer will help us both personally and professionally more than anything else in this life. I challenge you today to pray frequently, earnestly and fervently.
