We need prayer for the impossible to happen. What are the areas of your life in which you feel powerless?
We need to make sure our convictions about God are strong so that we keep our relationship with him our top priority, no matter what we go through in life.
Spending "alone time" with God is essential to our faith, strength, and ability to fight temptation. How strong is your eagerness to pray?
A courageous person is someone who isn’t shaken by circumstances, may experience fear but doesn’t live in it, and is secure and strong no matter what. Does this describe you?
Jesus had a mission! Everything he did in his life fit into the mission God had for him. Do you know your mission? Jesus accomplished his mission. Are you accomplishing that mission?
Do you look forward to praying and believe God listens?
How are you handling the predominant stresses and emotions in your life? Are they overwhelming you or are you overcoming them?
As soon as we begin to pray with honesty, vulnerability, and transparency with God, we experience God moving and turning painful darkness into the light of hope.
How different might you or your church be if courage was taught, encouraged, and expected from everyone in every area of their lives?
God exerts and expresses an unwavering perseverance when he sees our good days having gone bad. He doesn’t stop loving us when we fail, sin, or give up.
When we pray and hear our own emotions, we often identify the raging irrationality of what we are saying, and are surprised by the gentleness of God who listens, then draws even closer to us, because of our emotional honesty.
Resist the temptation to let fear induced stress make us quit for relief. Instead, rely on God to get through, realizing fear is an emotion we can conquer especially when it is based on tomorrows that may never come.
