Pray For Others.

"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets."Matthew 7:12

Prayer is one of the most common things in our Christian Religion, we all do it when things strike us down, hurt us, or when we are thanking God. I seen a new view on this verse today though, the Bible tells us in this verse to treat others as we want to be treated. When someone ask us to pray with them or for them, we need to pray, not for something in return, just out of our own kindness. Us doing this is us proving this verse, showing that we can do so. We have to be true servants of God helping all the needs of our brothers and sisters. We have to be kind in order to get the same in return, yes there are some people left in this world, where they are kind no matter how the other person treats them. Next time someone ask for prayer take a few minutes out of your day to pray with them. Think about it as if you were asking the same in return, treat it as you would want them to treat you. Think about it like this, how would you feel if they brushed you off? It would hurt you right? Next time whether you see it on social media or someone comes to you asking for prayer, stop what you're doing and pray. Do to them as you would want them to do to you. Prayer is one of the most powerful things in our lives, it's the way we communicate with God. Whether you are asking for something, thanking him for something, or even just talking to Him, He wants to communicate with you. Stop for a few minutes and pray. Pray for those you know need it, have a conversation, just talk to God today. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Philippians 4:6 "Never stop praying." 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere." Ephesians 6:18 "But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want and it will be granted!" John 15:7

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
