God promises in His Word that when we don’t know how to pray, we have the Holy Spirit who will pray for us.
What a great blessing. He knows us better than we know ourselves and He prays for us according to God’s will.
There are times when we don’t know what to pray. Illness, tragedy, decisions about our future and many other things. We want to be in God’s will. Rest in the promise that the Spirit is praying for us.
Enoch was a hero who had more than just strong faith in God; he walked with God and pleased Him so much that he did not die, but was taken up to heaven. Enoch’s life is a living testimony of pleasing the Lord in all ways through fellowship and obedience. He is only one of the two people in the Bible who never experienced death.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:5&6
What is a real friend? Someone who sticks by you no matter what the circumstances. They will rejoice with you when something good happens in your life.
They will sympathize with you in times of sadness.
Most importantly, they will pray with you and is there for you in every situation.
The Bible tells us to have friends we must be a friend.
If you have a friend you are blessed. If you have more than one, God has given you a treasure that is worth more than money can buy.
Maybe you need to reach out to your friend(s) today! Be the friend that they need.
Sometimes we get discouraged and look at our life negatively. In the Bible, David, had a lot of reasons to be discouraged. His Brothers treated him with no respect, Saul tried to kill him, and he had many enemies. But, he encouraged himself, went on to become king and was a man after God’s heart. Not a perfect man, but a good example for us.
So today, whatever your problem, encourage yourself to do right, look to God for the answer and you will have a happier, healthier life.
1 Samuel 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
Did you make a New Year Resolution? Maybe it was to loose weight, stay on a budget, or exercise every day. Whatever it is, usually we have good intentions. Then reality comes in and we fail.
There is one resolution that is more important than any other. That is to read the Bible and pray everyday.
This is one resolution that is vital to your spiritual health and happiness. Do not allow anything to stop you from communicating with your Savior, Jesus, on a daily basis. He loves you.
Without communication there is no relationship. Start today!
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Mathew 7:7
