The truth is, without the hardship and struggle we go through, we would not have defining moments, or accomplishment.  We would not be thankful for the blessings we have and we would not value our Lord and His eternal love and commitment to us.  We would not draw close to our Lord, as He wants us to.  We would have no guidance for our path to walk, because there would be no consequence, nor reason for us to change.

Change is inevitable.  God changes us and our surroundings for reasons only He knows but through it all, He never abandons us.  Why should I ask the Most High “why?”?  What answer would I get that would change the situation or reverse the event?  Only the Lord has the power to reverse events and He knows us more intimately than anyone.  The why is not always for us to know; What we do about it is. 

Fellow Christians, in times of struggle and hardship, draw Him ever nearer to your heart.  Be thankful for the struggle and rejoice in Him.  He never will abandon you, and in times of struggle, He is closer than ever.  We just need to open our hearts to Him and hear His voice in our lives, through the pain and hardship. 

This is so much easier said than done but a supernatural peace will still your heart when you do.  When you draw the Lord close and take your struggle to Him, you will find the Lord waiting for you.  Do not fear.  The Lord is with you always.

I hope that these words encourage your relationship with God and may you, even in the toughest of times, rejoice in the Lord and hold Him ever closer to your heart.  Lifting up my hardship to the Lord and drawing Him ever closer in the worst of times, has had an incredible effect on me as a person and as a sinner and as a Christian.  It strengthens my faith and gives me peace everytime and it is my prayer that it does the same for you. 

Thank you for reading and God bless you. 

Try it out, pray for someone else and see what happens.

The Lord keep you and bless you.

You see, I would listen to these pastors and really anointed men and women of God, praying their hearts out and it sounded so great to my ears.  I kept finding myself saying, “Wow.  I wish I can pray like that one day.”  and I still to this day, can’t.  I can’t pray like those people but what I didn’t realize was that God hears my heart when I lift it up to Him.  To Him, anyone praying sounds as awesome and eloquent as those anointed men and women of God that I was jealous of.  The act of lifting our hearts to the Lord to say “Thank you” or “Lord, I need you in this time of my life, more than ever” or many other things is what makes our prayers so important to God.

Your prayer is your conversation with the Lord and a thing that cannot rightly be judged by anyone.  It is between you and the Lord and how you say it is how you say it.  The Lord speaks to all of us in different ways and in turn, we all speak to Him in different ways too.  No ones prayer is better or more important that anyone elses’.  As long as the prayer is from the heart, God will listen and He will answer you.  There is no time frame, just have faith that your prayer will be answered and wait on the Lord for it.  Have faith in Him, ask and you shall receive.

To end this little note, I wanted to say, I love you.  Even though I don’t know you, I love you with my heart out and lifted to the Lord.  I love you because you are my brother or sister in the Lord and because He has opened my heart and I in turn open it to you.  Love defeats all evil and His love is eternal.  You are not alone in this world.  He is there with you.  Open up your heart and pray to Him to receive his blessings and start a new life in Him.  It doesn’t matter how you pray, pray from your heart and the right words will come out.  It’s amazing but true.

God bless and God’s love.

This verse speaks volumes to me about the power of God and His love for us and I hope it gives you some insight into the power that we wield when we are a praying people.  Prayer is a direct communication with the Lord, our God, and this verse and many others confirm the God communicates back in return.

We may ask for earthly things, changes of emotion, results on a test, a solution to a problem, that awesome bicycle, a ps3 for your birthday and much more, but the Lord provides results in the form of opened eyes, changed hearts, healed wounds and wisdom.  Of course, these gifts may come about in different ways, even ways that we didn’t expect or want, but the Lord has our best interests at hand and this we need to remember.

I pray that you see the power in prayer for you and yours and that you will prosper in your walk with the Lord.

God bless.  Peace and Love.

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full power of God so that you can take your stand against the Devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.“

Ephesians 6:10-13

This passage (there is actually more if you keep reading in the bible) is incredible and it reminds me every day that we have God’s protection, we just have to acknowledge it in our hearts.  This Word encourages me to no end and it lifts my spirits in those times when I don’t know what’s going on and everything seems to be falling apart.  Don the armor of the Lord and stand!

God bless you and I hope this Word speaks to you as it does me.

This couple sitting next to us had apparently overheard our prayers before our meal and thought that we had ordered only one meal because we couldn’t afford two.  They, being of incredibly kind heart, secretly ordered a desert for us and offered to buy us another plate.  Suprised by this offering, we then introduced ourselves and learned that this kind hearted couple were new christians who had felt called to try to help us.  Though we were not in need of the offered help, this action on the part of complete strangers to try to help us out in a perceived time of need was so awesome and touching, it made me smile from ear to ear.

It is so great to see the power of God in other people and the actions that they take.  I felt very fortunate to have met such great hearted and helpful people.  Though we were not in need of it at the time, their intentions were definitely in the right place and it made me feel warm inside that these new believers would be so well on the right track in giving to others and helping others.

This really touched my heart and I just wanted to share it with you.

Love and blessings.
