July 11th 2023 – Trusting God When Feeling Let Down

Leave a reply

Life has a way of bringing disappointments and letdowns that can leave us feeling downcast and discouraged. We may have experienced unmet expectations, broken promises, or dreams that seemed to crumble before our eyes. In these moments, it’s easy to question God’s plan and wonder why things didn’t turn out as we hoped. However, it is precisely in these times of disappointment that our faith can grow deeper, and our trust in God can be strengthened.

Psalm 42:11 – “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

The psalmist in Psalm 42 cries out, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?” These questions resonate with our own struggles when we feel let down. But the psalmist doesn’t stop there; they offer a powerful solution: “Put your hope in God.” 

When we feel let down, it’s crucial to redirect our focus and place our trust in God. We can find comfort and solace in knowing that God is always with us, even in our disappointments. He sees our pain and understands our heartache. He longs to bring healing and restoration to our weary souls.

Remember, Jesus Himself experienced deep disappointment. He was let down by His closest friends who deserted Him in His hour of need. Yet, even in His darkest moments, He put His trust in God. He surrendered to the Father’s will, knowing that His plan was greater than any disappointment or betrayal He faced.

In seasons of letdown, let us follow Jesus’ example by praising God in the midst of our pain. Let us acknowledge that He is our Savior and our God, who never leaves us nor forsakes us. As we cultivate an attitude of praise, our perspective shifts, and we begin to see God’s faithfulness and goodness even in the midst of disappointment.

While disappointment may linger, we can find hope in knowing that God’s plans are higher than our own. He can take our shattered dreams and transform them into something beautiful. His timing is perfect, and He works all things together for our good.

So, in times of letdown, let us choose to trust God. Let us put our hope in Him, knowing that He is faithful and will guide us through every disappointment. May we find strength in our relationship with Him, knowing that He has a purpose and a plan for our lives, even when things don’t turn out as we expected.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a heavy heart, feeling let down and disappointed. Help me to trust in Your plan and to put my hope in You. Remind me of Your faithfulness and goodness, even in the midst of my disappointments. Give me the strength to praise You in all circumstances and to surrender my disappointments into Your capable hands. Guide me and lead me according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Take a moment to reflect on God’s faithfulness and His promise to work all things together for your good. Trust that He is with you in every disappointment and that He will bring beauty out of ashes. Keep your hope in Him, for He is your Savior and your God.

July 8th 2023 – Trusting in God’s Guidance

Leave a reply

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

In our journey of faith, there are times when we may feel unsure or overwhelmed by the decisions we need to make. We may find ourselves at a crossroads, uncertain of which path to take. In these moments, it is crucial to trust in God’s guidance.

The book of Proverbs reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and to not rely solely on our own understanding. As human beings, we often try to figure things out on our own, relying on our own logic and reasoning. However, God’s ways are higher than ours, and His wisdom surpasses our own understanding.

Trusting in God’s guidance requires humility and surrender. It means acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers, but God does. It means submitting our plans, desires, and decisions to Him, allowing Him to direct our steps. When we surrender to God, He promises to make our paths straight.

Take a moment today to reflect on the areas of your life where you may be struggling with decisions or feeling uncertain. Surrender those concerns to God and ask Him for His guidance. Trust that He will lead you in the right direction, even if it may not align with your initial plans. Remember that God’s plans are always greater and more beautiful than we can imagine

Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a humble heart, acknowledging that I need Your guidance in my life. Help me to trust You with all my heart, and to lean not on my own understanding. I submit my plans, decisions, and desires to You. Guide me, Lord, and make my paths straight. Thank You for Your unfailing love and wisdom. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer:

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

July 7th 2023 – New Beginnings Through God’s Grace

Leave a reply

As we embark on a new day, we are often filled with a sense of anticipation and hope. New beginnings allow us to leave behind the past, wipe the slate clean, and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. In our Christian journey, we are blessed with the promise of new beginnings through the transformative power of God’s grace.

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, The Apostle Paul reminds us that when we come to Christ, we become new creations. Our past mistakes, regrets, and shortcomings no longer define us. Instead, we are given a fresh start, a chance to begin again. This newness is not something we can create on our own, but rather a gift from God Himself.

Just as the dawn breaks after a long night, God’s grace brings light and hope into the darkest corners of our lives. It is through His grace that we find forgiveness, redemption, and the strength to move forward. No matter how broken or lost we may feel, God’s love provides a way for us to experience a new beginning.

In embracing this new beginning, we are called to surrender our old ways and patterns of living. It requires humility and a willingness to let go of our own desires and ambitions, instead aligning our hearts with God’s will. As we embark on this fresh chapter, let us seek His guidance and direction, seeking to honor Him in all that we do.

Remember, that new beginnings are not just a one-time event but a continuous process. Each day, we have the opportunity to turn to God, seek His forgiveness, and experience His transforming power. Let us approach each new day with gratitude and a readiness to embrace the newness that God’s grace provides.

As we walk this journey of faith, let us encourage one another, reminding ourselves and our fellow believers of the promise of new beginnings in Christ. May we extend the same grace and love that we have received to those around us, helping them discover the hope and joy that comes from starting anew.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of new beginnings through Your grace. Help us to fully embrace this fresh start, leaving behind our past mistakes and embracing the possibilities that lie ahead. Guide us in aligning our hearts with Your will, allowing Your transforming power to work in us each day. May we be a light to others, extending Your love and grace to those in need. In Jesus’ name, we pray. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

July 6th 2023 – Embracing God’s Love and Grace

Leave a reply

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

In the midst of our human imperfections and shortcomings, God chose to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. This act of sacrificial love reveals the depth of His mercy and the vastness of His grace.

Consider the significance of God’s love: it is not dependent on our actions or worthiness. While we were still sinners, Christ willingly laid down His life for us, offering us forgiveness and reconciliation with our Heavenly Father. It is through His sacrifice that we can experience true freedom from guilt and shame.

As we meditate on God’s love, we also should reflect on the grace that accompanies it. Grace is the unmerited favor of God, freely given to us, regardless of our past mistakes or present struggles. It is through God’s grace that we can find solace in times of weakness, strength in moments of doubt, and hope in the face of adversity.

In our journey of faith, it is easy to become burdened by self-condemnation or overwhelmed by the challenges we face. However, let us remember that God’s love and grace are greater than any obstacle we encounter. They offer us a fresh start, a renewed purpose, and an everlasting hope

Today, take a moment to embrace God’s love and grace. Open your heart to His forgiveness, allowing His love to heal any wounds or regrets you may carry. Surrender your burdens and trust in His grace to carry you through difficult times.

May you find comfort in knowing that you are loved beyond measure, and may God’s grace empower you to extend love and forgiveness to others. Let us live each day in gratitude for the immeasurable gift of His love and the boundless depths of His grace.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank you for your incredible love and grace. Help us to fully comprehend the depth of your love revealed through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. May we embrace your forgiveness and extend it to others. Fill our hearts with gratitude and empower us to live lives that reflect your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

December 29th 2019 – Walk in Peace

Leave a reply

“Forward to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”(Romans 8:6)

Who or what is controlling your life? To be carnally minded (self-centered) is death. To be spiritually minded (Christ-centered) is life and peace. According to Romans 8, when you are out of rest, you are not in the Spirit. Do you have peace? If you do not have peace, do not blame it on the world or others; the blame lies with you. When you surrender to God, you do not have to surrender to your flesh. Live the Spirit-led life and you will live according to God’s will and in God’s power.

Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!” (John 13:8-9)

Life, in its fullest, comes through being led by the Lord. Fellowship is broken with God when you sin. You are still His child, but sin is in the way. Confess your sin to Jesus and let Him wash you clean. Then, you will be able to enjoy His presence.

What are you living for? Your reason for living should be set apart from the rest of the world. If you live for the riches of the world, you may be alive in the body, but you are dead in your spirit. Live for God! As an heir to the riches in Christ, you will enjoy the fullness of joy that comes through walking in the calling of God.

“The way to walk in peace is to be spiritually and heavenly minded.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the awesome riches You have given me through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Please give me wisdom and discernment as I seek to follow after You. I want to walk in the joy and peace You have given me. Set me apart to do Your will for my life and help me to live a surrendered, Spirit-filled life. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

If you have never accepted Gods grace you will never experience true peace in your life. Click Here to learn how and what it means to ask Jeaus into your life . Don’t wait until its too late.
