Pray hardest when it is hardest to pray

Hi All,

Well, this is my first post for this year. My apologies for not writing for so long. The holidays has surely kept me busy. Plus it was awesome to spend so much time with my two men at the beach. Okay enough of the holiday talk.

I have decided to start my first post for the year with this topic so that we can prepare ourselves for whatever lies ahead in this year.

Life is never a smooth ride, whether you are rich or poor. It will always have its bumps and curves. God has never promised a smooth ride, just that it will be worth it.

The past two years have been a real roller coaster for me and my family. This post would be way to long if I had to mention everything. But all I can say is that I would not have been able to make it through all these tough times if it wasn't for praying and faith in God. He hasn't provided me with a pot of gold, but he has given me peace at heart. Every time I felt overwhelmed or helpless, I prayed to God for peace and to give me strength to get through everything. 

“Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything” Phillipians 4:6

Here are few Bible verses for when you feel down or feel like there is no hope.

    1.       “ He had made everything beautiful in its time”  Ecclesiastes 3:11

This is a beautiful promise from God. Have faith in Him and his promise and good things will come in due time.

    2.       “ Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:9

Whenever you feel lonely or scared. STOP. And remember that you are NEVER alone. God is always by your side guiding you.

    3.       “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you” Psalm 55:22A

God is telling us to give him our cares and worries. That doesn’t mean to lift up your hands and hope for the best. It means to free yourself from worrying over the things you don’t have control of. By handing your worries over to God you allow your heart to be free and then you can follow the path he has set out for you.

     4.       “ With God all things are possible” Matthew 19:26

This is one of my favorite verses. If you keep God by your side, anything is possible. Let him into your life and watch how he will strengthen you each day.

I truly hope this has inspired you and your family to pray more. Through prayer you will let God into your life and your home. Never cease to pray, in good or bad times. Don’t feel bound to only pray in your bedroom, pray whenever you feel the need to.  Pray anywhere and anytime, God listens 24/7. Treat it as a conversation with God.

I would like to end of this post with a prayer:

“Lord,

                Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spread your Word to others.  Please give strength and guidance to those who are lost and helpless. May they find peace through You. I pray that more and more people will pray and that they will cast their worries in your hands. Thank you Lord, for your abundant blessings.

                                                                              Amen”

Thank you for reading my post, keep on having faith in the Lord.
