Teach me to do Your will - Psalm 143:10

Want to Know God's Will? The only way to know God’s will is by getting to know Him.  It’s through drawing near to God that His guidance becomes evident.  There isn’t one correct way to do that, but there are steps we can take that will help. Seek God through prayer Think about a close friend. If you’ve known them for a while, you know what they like and dislike.  The closer you are to someone, the more you understand them.  The same goes for our relationship with God.  Knowing God’s will comes from having honest conversations with Him. That’s why we need to get into the habit of talking to Him regularly, about everything.  Search the Scriptures: God’s will for your life will never contradict what is written in Scripture.  So as you get to know God through prayer, familiarize yourself with His Word.  The more you study the Bible, the more your desires will begin to reflect God’s will.  And when this happens, you can con...

Day 21 |  Faith that endures Our faith-filled life today creates a legacy and blessing for others tomorrow. We can trust God that the faith-filled prayers and actions we plant will come to fruition, whether or not we get to see the harvest in our lifetimes Today's Family Moment   The prayers we pray and the decisions we make following Jesus can grow into blessings for other people later—even if we don’t get to see it happen. We can trust God that He hears us and has the power to make those seeds grow in His perfect time. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for …  All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them  and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.  People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own....

21 Days of Prayer - Day 20

Day 20 |  Faith that suffers well Those who choose to press forward to possess the land through faith may experience suffering and difficulty. The enemy does not want us to win, but faith calls us to keep strong and carry on in the midst of adversity. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.  As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.  Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master. ‘If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed My teaching, they will obey yours also.  They will treat you this way because of My name, for they do not know the One who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.  Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.     John 15:18-23  Today's...

21 Days of Prayer - Day 19

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  and into an inheritance that can never  perish, spoil or fade.  This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.  In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith, is of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire, may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.  Though you...

Remind me of Your faithfulness and that nothing I face is beyond Your power or care. “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” (Psalm 94:19) Fill my heart with calm confidence that comes from trusting in Your promises. Replace my fear with faith and my restlessness with Your perfect peace. Help me to walk through this day with a heart anchored in Your love and a mind focused on Your truth. In Jesus’ name, amen. 🙏 Every Good Thing We Share In Philemon 1:6, Paul says, “I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.” When Paul writes this to Philemon, he’s not just sending a theological essay. He’s writing a personal letter to a close friend and fellow believer...
