Trust God

I am going to trust God to answer the big prayers I have. It will be hard because I am so used to wanting what I want right here and now. And when I want what I want, I will attempt to get it myself. But this time, I am going to follow the Word of God and let God establish what the Word says. In the depths of my soul, I believe that God is real. I believe that God is in charge of the entire universe. And, I believe God is with me and has my back. So I am going to make my requests known to God according to the Word and watch my requests be established.

I know I will get discouraged but I am going to believe that God is still working on my behalf. God said that he hears the prayers of the righteous and if we have faith, we will receive...as long as they are according to the will of God.

"So Lord, give me a clean heart and a right spirit so that I may know what is the good and perfect will of you."

Find your Place of Worship

Each day has its set of worries and struggles. Each day has its own set of demands for your time, attention, and energy. Sometimes you lose your rational thinking and just blow up and go off. But what do you do if you don’t want to do that? You go and find your own special place to worship. Worship in spirit and truth. There you will connect with the Divine and find rest…rest for your soul.

So many times we want a human touch or a human voice or a human ear and so many times we are disappointed. Human beings are fallible. They are limited. Only God can truly supply all your needs. Only God can shelter you in the time of storm. Only God can comfort you when you need to be comforted. This is where you need to live. This is where you need to go to…the shelter of God. Pour out your fears, pour out your sorrows. This is where the Lord is and is waiting to take care of you and all that concerns you.

Find your place of worship. Find that place where you can meet God and transcend to another dimension of hope and glory. It is in this place where you can be completely honest and completely yourself. You can release to the Almighty God the weights you are carrying. God loves to meet with you. God wants to meet with you…in your special place. Find a place in your space to meet God every day. It will make all the difference in the world.
